Hyundai Motor India has filed draft papers for a ₹25,000 crore IPO, proposing an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 17.5% stake (142,194,700 equity shares). It would be India’s largest IPO so far, surpassing LIC’s ₹21,000 crore fundraise. As an OFS, Hyundai Motor India won’t receive any funds; proceeds will go to the parent company.
The IPO would mark the first public issue by a carmaker in India since Maruti Suzuki’s in 2003. Hyundai Motor India, which started operations in 1996, sells 13 models including Creta, Venue, and i20. In FY24, it sold 6.14 lakh passenger vehicles, an 8.3% year-over-year growth.
