On the final day, retail investors subscribed the issue by just 50% against the quote of 4,94,95,705 shares available for subscription. The IPO sailed through because of strong participation by qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) who booked their quota by 6.97 times. The portion reserved for the qualified QIBs attracted merely 19.72 crore bids against 2,82,83,260 shares reserved for them.
Non-institutional investors subscribed only 60% in the quota reserved for them.
The issue is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 14.2 crore shares, which will be offloaded by the company's parent, Hyundai Motor Global. Since the IPO is an OFS, all proceeds will go to the selling shareholder.
Even though all proceeds from the IPO will go to the parent company, management stated that funds will be used for research and development and new innovative offerings.

Hyundai India IPO Review
Most analysts recommend investors subscribe to the IPO for the long term, noting that the company has a strong brand presence in India and is well-positioned to capture growth opportunities in the passenger car market.
"We assign a subscribe rating to Hyundai, given steady growth prospects amid industry tailwinds, robust financials, and a healthy SUV product slate. We expect limited listing gains from this IPO, but anticipate the company will deliver healthy double-digit portfolio returns over the medium to long term," said ICICI Direct.
"At the upper band, the company is valued at 26.2 times its FY24 earnings and 26.7 times if we annualize FY25 earnings. We believe the issue is fully priced and recommend a Subscribe – Long Term rating for the IPO," stated Anand Rathi.
