According to the report, Hyundai Motor India is expected to pursue a listing on the Indian stock exchange between September and October. Prior to this, it will undergo a process over the coming weeks to gauge investor interest.

Currently, Hyundai aims to raise at least $3 billion and up to $3.5 billion through the listing of Hyundai Motor India. Specific details such as the exact size of the offering and timing are still under discussion. Local Indian media have also reported that the IPO could raise about $3 billion.
