Many big NBFCs are expected to bring IPOs
At least three more “high-end” non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are expected to be listed within a year after Bajaj Housing Finance’s IPO. These NBFCs will have to launch IPOs to meet RBI’s mandatory listing requirement. Investment bankers said Tata Capital Financial Services, HDB Financial Services (the NBFC arm of HDFC Bank) and Aditya Birla Finance are the three NBFCs likely to launch IPOs.
Sachin Mehta, Investment Banking Director, Anand Rathi Advisors, said, “Given the demand for good quality businesses in the capital markets and subject to valuations, we will certainly see many NBFCs getting listed. This is expected… not only to meet RBI’s listing requirement, but also because it will also preserve the company’s ability to raise funds for its growth once it is listed.”
