Digital payments major, Paytm had a rather disappointing stock market debut on Thursday. One 97 Communications Ltd, Paytm’s parent company, listed at around 9% discount at 1,955 against its issue price of 2,150 on the BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE) and clocked as much as 27% loss during afternoon trading.

That’s not all. Paytm’s share touched the lower circuit, the minimum price to which a stock is allowed to fall, in the second half of the day. As opposed to the $20 billion valuation that Paytm was aiming for, its current valuation stands significantly lower at around $16 billion.

Looking at IPOs of companies with issue size above 1,000 crore in the last 10 years, Paytm’s IPO, country’s largest ever, saw the biggest crash on the listing day with a margin of nearly 10% from the next worst performer.
