India's red-hot initial public offering market may look irresistible as foreign firms line up for listings, but the rush is not about raising funds to expand in a fast-growing market; it's about sending billions of dollars back to headquarters.
Just one of six foreign-based companies that listed their Indian units in Mumbai since 2024 raised new funds, with all others structured purely as secondary offerings - or offer for sale (OFS), where existing shareholders sell their holdings to the public without raising any new funds, according to data from Prime Database, an Indian market research firm.
印度的首次公开募股市场火爆得让人难以抗拒，外资公司纷纷排队上市，但这股热潮并非为了在快速增长的市场中筹集资金扩展业务，而是将数十亿美元送回总部。
根据印度市场研究公司Prime Database的数据，自2024年以来，在孟买上市印度子公司的六家外资公司中，只有一家筹集了新的资金，其余全部是纯粹二次发行——即OFS，现有股东向公众出售持股而不筹集任何新资金。
