Hyundai's $3.3 Billion IPO Faces Tepid Investor Response in India

The largest IPO in Indian history struggles with only 42% subscription amid high valuations and market uncertainties.

Overview

  • Hyundai Motor India's IPO is the largest in Indian history, aiming to raise $3.3 billion through a 100% offer for sale by the Korean parent company.
  • As of the second day of bidding, the IPO has only achieved 42% subscription, with institutional investors showing more interest than retail investors.
  • Market analysts attribute the weak demand to high valuations and a lack of fresh capital for expansion, as the IPO is solely for stake dilution.
  • Social media reactions highlight concerns over the promoters' intent to cash out rather than fund growth, potentially impacting future stock performance.
  • The IPO's success is crucial for Hyundai, as it seeks to enhance its brand visibility and liquidity in the Indian market, with shares set to start trading on October 22.
