Hyundai Motor India Plans $2.5-$3 Billion IPO Journey In Indian Market

Hyundai Motor India Limited, the Indian subsidiary of the renowned South Korean automaker, is gearing up to initiate its initial public offering (IPO) journey by filing a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) this Friday.

The IPO aims to raise between $2.5 billion to $3 billion, marking a significant financial move for the company in the Indian market.

If approved by SEBI, this IPO would stand as India’s largest since the $2.7 billion listing of the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in 2022.

Hyundai Motor India plans to divest between 140 million to 150 million shares entirely through an offer for sale (OFS) mechanism during the anticipated offering.

In the fiscal year 2023-24, Hyundai Motor India secured its position as the country’s second-largest car manufacturer based on passenger vehicle sales volumes, trailing only Maruti Suzuki.

Hyundai Motor India’s roots in the country date back to 1998 when it established its first manufacturing facility, followed by a second plant in 2008.
