Upcoming IPO: ICICI Prudential AMC files DRHP for public issue, likely to raise ₹10,000 crore
ICICI Prudential AMC IPO will be an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 17.7 million shares, representing nearly 10% of the paid-up capital of the company. Prudential Corporation Holdings Limited (PCHL), a subsidiary of British insurer Prudential Plc, is the only promoter selling shareholder.
According to Bloomberg News, the offering could raise as much as ₹ 10,000 crore ($1.2 billion), making it the second-highest public issue of 2025, and valuing the asset manager at around $12 billion. The largest offer this year was by HDFC Bank subsidiary HDB Financial, which debuted on the Indian stock market last week, in signs of a sharp rebound in the IPO market.
ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company, India's second-largest mutual fund manager by assets, is a joint venture between ICICI Bank (holding a 51% stake) and the UK-based Prudential Plc (holding a 49% stake).
In February, Prudential had said it was considering listing its Indian joint venture on the bourses. Separately, ICICI Bank earlier today, July 9, informed exchanges that it has entered into an inter-se agreement with PCHL stating its intention to purchase up to 2% of the fully diluted pre-IPO share capital of the company from PCHL, prior to the consummation of the IPO.
As of March 31, 2025, ICICI Prudential AMC's total mutual fund quarterly average assets under management (QAAUM) was ₹ 8,794.1 billion, with a customer base of 14.6 million.
According to a Crisil report, the AMC manages the largest number of schemes in the mutual fund industry in India as of March 31, 2025, with 135 schemes comprising 42 Equity and Equity Oriented Schemes, 20 debt schemes, 56 passive schemes, 14 fund-of-fund domestic schemes, one liquid scheme, one overnight scheme, and one arbitrage scheme.
Morgan Stanley India, Axis Capital, BofA Securities India, and Citigroup Global Markets India are among the book-running lead managers of the offering.

Next round of US tariffs may affect more sectors: Fitch
New Delhi: Fitch Ratings on Tuesday said India-based corporates have low direct exposure to US tariffs, but sectors that are currently unaffected, including pharmaceuticals, could be hit by further US tariff announcements. The US has imposed a 25 per cent 'reciprocal' tariff on India with effect from August 7, 2025, and an additional 25 per cent levy will be effective August 27, as a penalty for Russian oil imports. At 50 per cent, India is subject to maximum tariff among Asian economies on exports to the US. Fitch Ratings said the risk of second-order effects from existing tariffs is also rising. A US-India trade deal, if secured, would reduce these risks. 'Fitch Ratings believes India-based corporates generally have low direct exposure to US tariffs, but sectors that are currently unaffected, including pharmaceuticals, could be hit by further US tariff announcements,' it said in a statement. Russian crude accounts for about 30-40 per cent of crude imports for Indian oil marketing companies (OMCs), with its discounted price supporting their profitability, the rating agency said.

Icra predicts 6.7% GDP growth in Q1
New Delhi: The Indian economy is expected to grow at 6.7 per cent in April-June period of current fiscal, higher than 6.5 per cent a year ago, on the back of higher government capex and exports, rating agency Icra said on Tuesday. This projection also outpaces the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee's (MPC's) forecast of 6.5 per cent growth in the June quarter. India's economy grew 7.4 per cent in March quarter of FY25. Official data for FY26 Q1 GDP is scheduled to be released on August 29. Icra Chief Economist Aditi Nayar said investment activity held up in Q1 FY2026 was boosted by the front-loading of government capex. Although, this admittedly came on a low base amidst the heightened uncertainty owing to geopolitical tensions and tariff-related developments. 'Benefitting from robust government capital as well as revenue spending, upfronted exports to some geographies and nascent signals of improved consumption, the pace of expansion in economic activity in Q1 FY2026 is estimated at 6.7 per cent,' Nayar said. She, however, cautioned against tapering off of GDP growth in the subsequent quarter amid continuing tariff-induced uncertainty for exports and private capex. This will limit India's GDP expansion at 6 per cent in current fiscal.
