A subsidiary of banking giant HDFC Bank, HDB Financial Services, which has filed its DRHP with SEBI, has finally received approval to launch its IPO worth ₹12,500 crore through an Initial Public Offering (IPO).
The IPO consists of a mixture of a fresh issue of ₹2,500 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹10,000 crore by the parent company HDFC Bank.
Currently, HDFC Bank holds a 94.3% stake in the company. As per the CNBC-TV18 report, the investors can expect the IPO to be launched by May 27.
As per the RBI’s guidelines issued in October 2022, the company HDB Financial Services must be required to list its shares in the stock market through an IPO within three years from the date of filing the DRHP, as HDB Financial falls under the “Upper Layer” non-banking financial companies.
If the RBI’s 2024 draft rules come into effect, then the HDFC Bank will be left with no option but to choose one out of 3 options, which are either to reduce its stake in HDB Financial at up to 20%, combine the two companies, or completely separate their business activities.
The proceeds raised from the fresh issue will be utilized in order to strengthen Tier-1 Capital, in order to meet the future requirements, and making sure that the company has enough capital as required by the rules.
HDB Financial Services was founded in 2007, known to provides loans and business process outsourcing (BPO) services to individuals and businesses. The company has quickly grown to over 1,747 branches across 27 states and 4 union territories. It offers a wide range of secured and unsecured loans, along with investment and insurance services, making it a one-stop solution for customers’ financial needs.
