Hyundai Motors India is all set to launch India's largest ever initial public offering (IPO) after getting a nod from the capital markets regulator Sebi. The company had filed its draft papers in June 2024 and select sources suggest that the auto major may launch its IPO as soon as next month.
South Korean auto giant has received final observations from the Indian capital market's watchdog. Hyundai's Indian arm is eyeing to raise $3 billion, around Rs 25,000 crore through its initial stake sale. The issue is entirely an offer-for-sale (OFS) by the promoter Hyundai Motor Company.
Hyundai Motors India expects that listing of the equity shares will enhance its visibility and brand image and provide liquidity and a public market for the equity shares in India. Hyundai Motor India was India's second largest carmaker after Maruti Suzuki in FY24 in terms of passenger sales volumes.
