Hyundai plans India's largest IPO at $3 billion, eyeing $30 billion valuation, intensifying focus amid Tesla's expected entry and competition.
Hyundai Motor is actively considering an initial public offering (IPO) for its Indian unit to raise a minimum of $3 billion, marking India's largest-ever stock offering. The move comes as the South Korean automotive giant aims to strengthen its position in the Indian market amid growing competition, following its strategic pullback in China and exit from Russia. Hyundai's decision aligns with its commitment to invest $4 billion in India, focusing on electric vehicles (EVs) and a new manufacturing facility.
In the preliminary stages of IPO discussions, Hyundai Motor India has engaged in talks with major banks, including JP Morgan and Citi, according to anonymous sources. The IPO, if realized, would underscore Hyundai's dedication to the Indian market, with the valuation expected to reach up to $30 billion. Hyundai's market capitalization in Seoul currently stands at $42 billion, and the IPO move saw its shares surge by 5%, reaching their highest point in nearly three years.
With India's capital markets gaining fame and emerging as a viable alternative to China, Hyundai is eyeing the country's IPO boom. India's $4 trillion stock market, ranked as the fourth-largest globally, has seen a 20% increase in the Nifty 50 index in 2023, and the trend is expected to continue in 2024. Buoyed by domestic and foreign investments, the IPO landscape in India flourished in 2023, with 239 companies raising $6.78 billion.
In preparation for the IPO, Hyundai has engaged in talks with prominent investment banks, including JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Bank of America. While no formal appointments have been made, these discussions indicate the company's commitment to navigating the complexities of the IPO process.

Having entered the Indian market over two decades ago, Hyundai has maintained its status as the second-largest car maker by sales. The company is intensifying its efforts in India and the United States after scaling back operations in China and exiting Russia. Despite facing challenges from local rivals like Tata Motors, Hyundai's significant market share in India positions it favorably for the potential IPO.

With Tesla's anticipated entry into the Indian market, Hyundai's IPO plans coincide with the need to strengthen its position in the electric vehicle segment. Analysts suggest that going public could enhance Hyundai's ability to compete with Tesla in India's EV market. Hyundai has announced plans to invest nearly $4 billion in India over the next decade, focusing on EVs, charging stations, and a battery pack assembly unit. A portion of this investment will facilitate Hyundai's expansion through the acquisition of a former General Motors plant.
