Reuters —Hyundai Motor India’s shares fell 2% in their market debut on Tuesday, after a tepid response from retail investors to the country’s largest ever initial public offering.
The stock listed at 1,934 rupees ($23) on India’s National Stock Exchange, compared to its issue price of 1,960 rupees ($23.31), and was last trading down 2% at 1,920 rupees ($22.84) at 0431 GMT (12:31 a.m.
Hyundai is India’s No.
Its record $3.3 billion IPO was oversubscribed more than two-fold last week, led largely by institutional investors, but pricing concerns deterred retail participation.
The issue had valued Hyundai at 26 times its fiscal 2024 earnings, not far off the 29 times multiple for market leader Maruti.
