Hyundai Motor India’s ₹25,000 crore IPO gets SEBI approval – India’s biggest IPO expected to launch in October

• Hyundai Motor India received approval from SEBI for its initial public offering (IPO).
• The automaker is expected to raise $3 billion (approx. ₹25,000 crore) through its IPO.
• This will make it the biggest IPO in India, beating the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India’s IPO.

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the Indian arm of the South Korean automaker Hyundai has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its initial public offering (IPO).

The automaker had filed papers with SEBI in June 2024 and has finally received approval. The company plans on raising $3 billion (approx. ₹25,000 crore) at a valuation of $20 billion.

The company established its first manufacturing plant in India in 1998, followed by a second plant in 2008. In FY24, Hyundai Motor India was the country’s second-largest carmaker after Maruti Suzuki.

Hyundai is offering 14.2 crore shares with a face value of ₹10 each, which is around 17.5% stake in the company. While there is no official announcement yet, the IPO is expected to hit the street in October 2024.

"The objects of the offer are to carry out the Offer for Sale of up to 142,194,700 Equity Shares of the face value of Rs 10 each by the Promoter Selling Shareholder and to achieve the benefits of listing the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges," the company said in the DRHP.


This will make the Hyundai IPO the country’s biggest IPO, beating the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India’s (LIC) $2.7 billion (approx. ₹21,000 crore) listing in 2022. That is until Reliance Jio’s IPO hits the street. Jio is expected to raise around ₹55,000 crore from the market.

Hyundai has become the first car maker to go public in India in over two decades. The last car maker to go public was Maruti Suzuki, which held its IPO in 2003. Apart from this, Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra are listed in the Indian stock market.

Over the past year, Hyundai Motor Group has announced new investment plans in India totalling approximately $3.75 billion. The company has already invested around $5 billion in the country. India is the third biggest market for the company, after the US and South Korea.


Hyundai emerged as the second biggest automaker in August 2024 with nearly 50,000 cars sold during the month.

A Reuters report revealed that the company plans on launching its first India-made electric vehicle in the country in 2025.
