HDB Financial Services IPO: India’s largest private sector lender, HDFC Bank, is set to gain a whopping ₹9,373 crore profit from the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of its non-banking financial company (NBFC) arm, HDB Financial Services, scheduled to open on June 25, 2025. Notably, the HDB Financial Services IPO is slated to be the largest public offering in India’s NBFC sector.
That said, the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) filed by the company reveals that the offering comprises a fresh equity issuance worth ₹2,500 crore, alongside an offer for sale (OFS) in which HDFC Bank will divest part of its stake (135.13 million equity shares) valued at ₹10,000 crore.
The price band for the HDB Financial Services IPO has been set between ₹700 and ₹740 per share. If the public issue is fully subscribed at the upper end of the range, HDFC Bank stands to raise ₹10,000 crore from the OFS. Meanwhile, HDFC Bank’s average acquisition cost for the shares is ₹46.4 per share, bringing the total acquisition cost for the OFS shares to approximately ₹627 crore, according to the RHP.
Thus, the transaction is expected to generate a profit of approximately ₹9,373 crore for HDFC Bank, including payable taxes, if applicable.
