The offerings indicate share sales in India are bouncing back after a lull in the first quarter, helped by a 12% rally in the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index from its March low. The Reserve Bank of India's cash infusions into the financial system and a surprise 50-basis-point rate cut this month are also spurring companies to speed up public listing plans.
“India's secondary market has rebounded in recent weeks, buoyed by strong liquidity. With a strong secondary market, IPOs fairly priced may see good demand from both domestic and foreign investors,” said V Jayasankar, managing director, Kotak Investment Banking.
HDB's IPO will be the largest offering in the nation's equity market since Hyundai Motor India Ltd.'s $3.3 billion deal last year.
