PhonePe prepares for $1.5 billion IPO: All you need to know
Digital payments and financial services platform PhonePe is gearing up for a $1.5-billion initial public offering (IPO) later this year. The Walmart-backed company has tapped Kotak Mahindra Capital, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley to arrange the offering. Key details: Draft paper filing: The company may file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) by August. Target raise: It plans to raise around $1.5 billion through the listing, which is approximately Rs 13,000 crore, as per a Bloomberg report. Valuation: This would value the company at $15 billion, a significant jump over its last private valuation of $12 billion, in 2023. Live Events Key developments Flipback to India: In 2022, PhonePe, which was domiciled in Singapore, redomiciled to India. This is an important legal step for companies planning to list on Indian stock exchanges. The fintech firm was the first of many startups that returned to India driven by better listing prospects and regulatory ease.

Fundraise: In May 2023, PhonePe completed raising $850 million in multiple rounds from General Atlantic, Ribbit Capital, Tiger Global and Walmart. It was valued at over $12 billion after these funding rounds. Between 2020 and 2023, the company's valuation more than doubled from $5.5 billion to $12 billion. Financials: PhonePe narrowed its net loss by 29% in financial year 2024 to Rs 1,996 crore, from Rs 2,795 crore in FY23. The improved financial performance was backed by 74% growth in its operating revenue to Rs 5,064 crore, from Rs 2,914 crore a year before. February 2025: The company publicly stated its intention to list on Indian bourses. The fintech startup did not give a timeframe for the IPO, saying the plans were initiated after considering revenue growth and improvement in its path towards profitability. April 2025: The digital payments firm transitioned from a private entity to a public company in April, according to filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The conversion was approved by the company's shareholders through a special resolution passed at an extraordinary general meeting held on April 16. Diversification woes PhonePe is the market leader in the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) space, and even though it has diversified to become a full-stack financial services platform, offering credit, insurance, and stockbroking over the past three years, UPI remains its core business. In FY24, PhonePe's financial services business brought in Rs 207.4 crore—a mere 4% of its Rs 5,064 crore total revenue. While the company has multiplied its revenue over the last few years, crossing the Rs 5,000-crore mark in overall income last year, diversifying its income streams is proving harder than expected.

Govt to decide subsidy scheme for rare earth magnet production in 15-20 days: Kumaraswamy
New Delhi, Jun 24 (PTI) The government will take a decision on rolling out a scheme to subsidise domestic production of rare earth magnets in 15-20 days, Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy said on Tuesday. Stakeholder consultations are underway to determine the quantum of subsidy to be offered under the scheme. If the total incentives involved cross ₹ 1,000 crore, the scheme will be sent to the Union Cabinet for approval, Secretary in the Heavy Industries Ministry Kamran Rizvi said. "One Hyderabad-based company... they are showing interest. They have promised that they will deliver 500 tonnes by this year-end, December. We have (had) discussions with the Mines Minister. Our Secretary and our ministry are working on, ultimately, a decision (will be taken) I think within 15-20 days," Kumaraswamy, the Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, told reporters here. China's recent restrictions on exports of key metals caused widespread disruption in the manufacturing of automobiles and semiconductor chips in a host of countries, including India. The secretary said the actual production of rare earth magnets will take about two years, and the government, along with the industry, is looking at alternative sources of procurement in the interim period, including Japan and Vietnam. "So you are aware that rare earth is available in Japan, in Vietnam, and efforts are going on to take from there," Rizvi said. Rare earth magnets include neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB). It is used for high-performance automotive applications such as traction motors in electric vehicles (two-wheelers and passenger vehicles) and power steering motors (in passenger vehicles) in both electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles. The subsidy will facilitate investment for establishing processing facilities for companies to convert rare earth oxides into magnets. Indian Rare Earth Magnets Ltd, a PSU under the Ministry of Atomic Energy, is the sole repository of rare earths in India. They have enough rare earths to make 1,500 tonnes of magnets, officials said. Secretary in the heavy industries ministry Kamran Rizvi said whether or not the scheme will go to the Union Cabinet for approval depends on the quantum of incentives to be offered. "It depends on the level of incentives. If it is less than ₹ 1,000 crore, (heavy industries) minister and finance minister can do it. If it goes beyond ₹ 1,000 crore, it has to go to the Cabinet. "We do not know the quantum of subsidy required yet, stakeholder consultations are on, as the minister pointed out, so varied responses have come. Somebody wants 50 per cent, somebody wants 20 per cent, so it will be subject to a competitive bid, then we will know the quantum of support required," Rizvi added. Officials said 30 automotive firms have sought authorisation from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) to import rare earth magnets from China a fortnight ago, so that production is not impacted negatively due to the shortage.
