Live Events
HDB Financial Services' IPO will open for subscription on June 25 and close on June 27. The listing, tentatively scheduled for July 2 on both BSE and NSE, will mark the largest public offering so far in 2025 and the biggest since Hyundai Motor India's Rs 27,000 crore issue last year.
The offering comprises a Rs 10,000 crore offer for sale (OFS) by parent
HDFC Bank
and a fresh issue of Rs 2,500 crore.
HDFC Bank
currently holds a 94.6% stake in the company and is expected to significantly reduce its shareholding post-listing, in line with regulatory and capital optimisation goals.
Retail and institutional appetite
The IPO structure includes reserved quotas for HDFC Bank shareholders and employees.
A consortium of global and domestic investment banks, including BofA Securities India, Goldman Sachs (India), Morgan Stanley India,
JM Financial
, and Motilal Oswal, are acting as book-running lead managers for the issue. MUFG Intime India (Link Intime) is the registrar.
HDB Financial is a major NBFC player focused on retail and small business borrowers across India. Its product portfolio includes personal loans, gold loans, vehicle loans, and loans against property, with a strong footprint in semi-urban and rural areas.
The IPO comes at a time of buoyant investor sentiment. The Nifty 50 has rebounded from March lows, and liquidity remains ample after the Reserve Bank of India's recent policy stance. Analysts say the listing will be closely watched due to the HDFC Group's brand strength, the scale of the issue, and the long-term potential of the business.
Proceeds from the fresh equity portion will be used to augment capital adequacy and support future lending growth.

Hoteliers urge state govt to address issues to boost tourism sector
Bhubaneswar: Members of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Odisha (HRAO) on Saturday urged the govt to address challenges facing the tourism sector, including lack of land and infrastructure, to help the state become the 7th most popular destination for tourists by 2027. "The lack of proper infrastructure and land availability is severely hampering tourism development in Odisha. We are ready to invest, but there's a visible gap in demand and supply," said Milind Gupta, secretary general of HRAO, ahead of the 6th Odisha Tourism Conclave scheduled to be held in Bhubaneswar on June 25. He added that the Tourism Policy 2022 did not yield results, and fresh proposals, such as simplifying approval processes and categorising tourism under the special economic zone (SEZ) framework, single-window clearance, and providing capital and interest subsidies for investors, have been submitted to the govt. HRAO members stated that Odisha remains among the states with the least number of hotel rooms, with just 16 classified hotels and 1,055 rooms available till 2023. However, a total of 97.25 lakh domestic and 0.45 lakh international tourists visited the state in 2023, as per the India Tourism Statistics Report 2024. "There was growth in the tourism sector, though the pace is slow. To increase the pace, there is a need for a policy overhaul. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo We have high hopes from the govt that they will consider our proposals and include them in the new tourism policy," said Debashis Patnaik, another HRAO member. "The govt identified land banks in 15 places across the state," he added. The conclave will bring together travel experts, investors, and industry leaders to discuss ways to boost infrastructure, attract investment and promote international tourism. According to HRAO, despite its rich cultural and natural heritage, including Asia's largest lagoon, Chilika, and a 480-km coastline, Odisha has been losing over Rs 9,000 crore annually in foreign exchange due to outbound Indian tourism. HRAO emphasised the need to capitalise on the momentum by investing in manpower training and integrating tourism-focused education from the school level.

Superyacht 'Bayesian': British luxury yacht that sank in storm lifted off Sicilian coast; probe underway
The body of the superyacht Bayesian, which sank near Palermo, Sicily, on August 19, 2024 is lifted by cranes during salvage operations off the village of Porticciolo (Image credit: AP) A British-flagged luxury yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily, Italy last year killing UK tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and six others was lifted out of the water on Saturday. Crews completed a complex recovery operation so that investigators can examine the vessel. The 56-meter (184-foot) yacht, named Bayesian was covered in algae and mud as it was raised by a large yellow floating crane near the port of Porticello in northern Sicily. "The body of the superyacht Bayesian has been successfully and safely recovered from the sea,' said TMC Maritime, the company in charge of conducting the recovery. They added that the yacht will remain suspended for checks before being moved to the port of Termini Imerese on Sunday. Once at the port, the yacht will be placed on a special steel cradle for investigators to examine it. They will further determine the cause behind its sinkage. The Bayesian sank on August 19 during a violent storm. Lynch was celebrating being cleared of fraud charges in the US with his friends. His daughter and five others also died. Fifteen people survived, including the captain and all crew members except the chef. Italian authorities are conducting a criminal investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Зачем на ночь сжигают лавровый лист? Undo Over the past three days, the yacht was slowly lifted from the seabed, 50 meters (165 feet) below. Eight steel straps were used to raise the yacht and seawater was pumped out of the body during the process. According to a British investigation, the yacht was hit by extreme winds of over 70 knots (81 mph), causing it to tilt 90 degrees in under 15 seconds. The crew had stopped at the location believing it would provide shelter from the storm. Mike Lynch, who made his fortune by selling his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011, had been buried from the charges by a federal court jury in San Francisco just two months before the accident.

HC directs ADM to dispose of 2016 case against company within 1 month
Cuttack: Orissa high court has pulled up the additional district magistrate-cum-adjudicating authority, Cuttack, for inordinate delay of over nine years in adjudicating a case against a company over alleged food safety violations. Justice S K Panigrahi, hearing the company's petition, termed the prolonged pendency of the 2016 case as an "abuse of process" and ordered its final disposal within one month. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on the ADM for the delay, directing payment to the company within four weeks. The proceedings stemmed from a 2015 report by the food safety officer, following seizure of samples from the company's depot in Cuttack. The report raised concerns over the presence of monosodium glutamate (MSG), prompting initiation of adjudication proceedings. However, the petitioner argued that the continued proceedings were arbitrary and violated the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India ( FSSAI ) order dated March 31, 2016. FSSAI had clarified that glutamate occurs naturally in several food items, and current analytical methods cannot conclusively distinguish between naturally occurring and added MSG. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Move-In Ready Homes Available – Act Fast!

Despite the company filing representations in 2016 and again in 2018 seeking dismissal of the case, the ADM failed to pass any order. Justice Panigrahi, expressing concern, said, "This court is at a loss to understand how such an extraordinary delay has occurred, and more alarmingly, how it continued unchecked." He noted that the delay reflects "a disturbing disregard for procedural discipline" and that prescribed legal timelines are not mere formalities but essential for justice. The court further stated that such delays erode the credibility of regulatory frameworks and highlighted the importance of adhering to statutory timelines under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Justice S K Panigrahi directed the ADM to finally hear and dispose of the matter within one month stating, "Legal proceedings cannot be allowed to linger in perpetuity."
