Credila files for Rs 5,000 crore IPO after rapid growth in education loan segment
MUMBAI: Credila Financial Services, the education loan-only non-banking finance company initially promoted by the now extinct HDFC and was later sold to private equity players Barring Asia and Cryscaptial as part of its reverse merger with HDFC Bank for Rs 9,553 crore in June 2023, has filed for a Rs 5,000 crore primary share sale.
Founded in 2006 by HDFC, Credila is the largest education finance company in the country with a loan book of Rs 41,469 crore as of March 2025 and had booked Rs 990 crore in net income in the financial year 2025.
The Credila issue news comes on a day when the largest ever IPO from the NBFC sector is closing with a highly successful subscription for the Rs 12,500-crore issue from another HDFC Bank entity-- HDB Financial.
According to the updated papers filed with the Sebi and the Registrar of Companies, the Rs 5,000-crore issue comprises a fresh issue of Rs 3,000 crore and an offer for sale of shares aggregating up to Rs 2,000 crore.
The offer for sale of shares of Rs 10 face value includes Rs 950 crore by Kopvoorn BV, which is the main promoter entity along with Moss Investments, Defati Investments Holding, and Infinity Partners; and Rs 1,050 crore by HDFC Bank, which owns around 9.99% in the company after the merger of HDFC.
Just ahead of the merger effective July 1, 2023, HDFC had sold 90% to private equity majors Barring Asia which is now known as EQT BPEA and Cryscapital for Rs 9,553 crore in late June 2023. The sale was a precondition that the Reserve Bank had set for the approval of the merger.
According to the updated draft papers filed Friday, the company proposes to use the net proceeds towards augmenting capital base to meet future capital requirements arising out of growth of its business and assets.

Adani Group Becomes India's Fastest-Growing Brand, Value Up By 82%
New Delhi: The Adani Group has emerged as the fastest-growing Indian brand this year, with its brand value up by 82 per cent, according to a new report. The Group's growth is attributed to aggressive and integrated infrastructure focus, surge in green energy ambitions, and increased brand equity across key stakeholders, said the 'Most Valuable Indian Brands 2025' report by London-based Brand Finance. The value of the Adani brand surged from $3.55 billion in 2024 to $6.46 billion, marking a substantial gain of $2.91 billion -- a testament to the Group's strategic clarity, resilience and commitment to sustainable growth. The increase in value this year is greater than the entire brand valuation reported in 2023, helping the Adani Group climb to rank 13 from 16 last year, according to the report. The company has seen record-breaking revenue, unprecedented growth and historic profitability. Addressing the 33rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) this week, Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, said "In FY25, our numbers were strong. Across all our sectors, we did more than just scale. We created impact, inspired change, and most importantly, deepened our national commitment". In terms of consolidated numbers, at the Group level, revenues grew by 7 per cent, EBITDA by 8.2 per cent, and Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained healthy at 2.6x. Total revenues were Rs 2,71,664 crore, and adjusted EBITDA was Rs 89,806 crore. "Our capital investment across businesses is set to break all records. We anticipate an annual CAPEX spend of $15-20 billion for the next five years. These are not just investments in our Group, but investments in the possibilities for doing our part to build India's infrastructure," said Gautam Adani. Adani Power crossed 100 billion units of generation -- a scale never before matched by any private sector company. It is now well on track to reach 31 GW capacity by 2030. Meanwhile, showcasing a resilient economy amid robust policies, the collective brand value of the top 100 Indian companies reached $236.5 billion in 2025 to date. The Brand Finance ranking report results remained stable, reflecting a year of steady gains for major Indian brands across sectors.
