The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has reportedly approved the proposed IPO of Hyundai Motor India.

Hyundai Motor India, which ranks second in the country’s automobile industry after Maruti Suzuki, submitted its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the regulator in June, targeting a valuation of around $18 billion-$20 billion (₹1.50 lakh crore – ₹1.67 lakh crore).
The primary aim of the IPO is to execute the offer for sale of up to 14.21 crore equity shares of the face value of ₹10 each by the promoter selling shareholder and to reap the benefits of listing the equity shares on the stock exchanges.
The transaction is being advised by Citi, HSBC Securities, JPMorgan, Kotak Mahindra Capital and Morgan Stanley, while law firms Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, and Latham and Watkins are acting as legal advisors.
