Introduction

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) allows a company to sell its shares to public investors for the first time. One of the main reasons companies go for IPOs is to raise capital for various purposes, such as expanding their businesses, tackling general corporate issues, and repayment of debts. When a company plans to launch its IPO, it needs to file a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DHRP) with the market regulator – the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Recently, Muthoot Micorfin – the microfinance subsidiary of the Muthoot Pappachan Group – has filed draft papers to launch its IPO. The company plans to raise Rs. 1350 from the capital markets through a combination of a new issue and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of its equity shares.
