Hyundai Motor India files draft IPO papers with SEBI for record Rs 25,000 crore offer: Hyundai Motor India (HMI) has started preparations to bring an Initial Public Offering (IPO). For this, Hyundai has filed preliminary documents with the stock market regulator SEBI. According to the draft, the proposed IPO is entirely an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 142,194,700 equity shares by Hyundai Motor Company. No new shares will be issued in this. PTI-Bhasha sources confirmed in February this year that South Korean carmaker Hyundai Motor wants to raise about three billion dollars i.e. about Rs 25,000 crore through the IPO.
If SEBI approves, Hyundai will leave LIC’s IPO behind
If the company’s IPO gets SEBI’s approval, it will be India’s largest public issue. It will also surpass LIC’s Rs 21,000 crore IPO that came two years ago. South Korean carmaker Hyundai may sell 15-20 percent stake in its Indian unit Hyundai Motor India to raise funds. Since this public issue is completely OFS, Hyundai Motor India will not receive any proceeds from the IPO.
