HDB sets IPO price band at Rs 700-740

New Delhi: HDB Financial Services, a subsidiary of HDFC Bank, on Friday fixed a price band of Rs 700-740 per share for its Rs 12,500 crore company is expected to list on the BSE and NSE on July 2. At the upper end of the price band, the company is valued at nearly Rs 61,400 crore. HDB Financial Services' maiden public issue will open for subscription on June 25 and conclude on June 27, while the bidding for the anchor investor will open for a day on June 24, the company announced. The IPO is a combination of a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 2,500 crore and an Offer For Sale (OFS) of Rs 10,000 crore by promoter HDFC Bank. At present, HDFC Bank holds a 94.36 per cent stake in HDB Financial Services, a non-banking financial company (NBFC) arm of the bank. The company proposes to utilise the proceeds from the fresh issue to strengthen its Tier-I capital base. This will support future capital needs, including additional lending, to support business growth. The decision to list HDB Financial Services follows the Reserve Bank of India's mandate in October 2022, requiring NBFCs in the upper layer to list on the stock exchanges within three years. Last year, HDFC Bank's board approved a share sale worth Rs 12,500 crore, comprising Rs 10,000 crore OFS related to HDB Financial Services. After the proposed IPO, HDB Financial Services will continue to be a subsidiary of the bank, in compliance with the provisions of the applicable regulations. Half of the issue size has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 35 per cent for retail investors and the remaining 15 per cent for non-institutional investors.

RBI guidelines for project finance, CRE: A smaller provisions hike's no big worry for banks, NBFCs

MUMBAI: Central bank guidelines on provisions for project finance and commercial real estate (CRE) might have only a small and negligible profitability impact on both banks and NBFCs , as the increase in immediate liabilities is less than a percentage point from those existing rules - even in the worst-case scenario. Financial and banking stocks surged on Friday. Bankers and analysts, who had pencilled in up to a 150-basis point impact on return on assets (RoAs) for lenders, now expect no new provisioning requirements as NBFCs are already on the more stringent Ind-AS accounting norms while for banks the impact is small. One basis point is 0.01 percentage point. Karthik Srinivasan , group head, financial sector ratings at ICRA said with no retrospective provisions and peak provisions much below the 5% proposed in the draft guidelines, there will be a minimal impact on lenders. "Although we are yet to create a hypothesis and do a study on the impact, it is nothing like the 150 basis points on RoA basis we had predicted earlier. We do not expect any real impact on banks or NBFCs," Srinivasan said. ICRA had earlier expected the annual impact on RoA at 100-150 bps for lenders, with funding costs going up by 20-40 bps. Both these issues will not arise as in the final guidelines general provisions required for CRE, CRE-RH (CRE-Residential Housing) and other infrastructure projects have been reduced to between 1% and 1.25% in the construction phase from a peak of 5% in the draft guidelines. Live Events Financials Surge The Nifty financial index surged 1.3%, and financial stocks were at the forefront of the stellar Nifty 50 rebound Friday from a sharp sell-off Thursday. HDFC Bank , the biggest lender by market value, climbed 1.44%, while Bajaj Housing Finance too climbed 1.4%. Provisions for projects in the operational phase have also been reduced to between 0.40% and 1%, with operational infrastructure project provisions kept at 0.40%, the same as it is currently. The new guidelines will come into force from October 1. Rajkiran Rai , managing director at infrastructure financier NaBFID, said the final guidelines limit his firm's provision increase to just 5 basis points. "If we were pricing a loan at 8%, now we will price it at 8.05%. This would have increased to 9.50% if the original guidelines had remained, so this is a big relief. The new norms also have clauses saying at least 50% to 75% of the land must be acquired for the loan to be sanctioned. This could delay loan sanctions but it will bring uniformity in application since different projects were so far treated differently on land acquisition," Rai said. For loans on infrastructure projects which have been delayed beyond three years from the date of commencement of commercial operations (DCCO), lenders have to make an additional provision of 0.375% and a 0.5625% provision on non-infrastructure project loans (including CRE and CRE-RH), for each quarter of deferment, over and above the applicable standard asset provision. "Provisioning requirement for projects beyond DCCO up to two years will go up to 4% vis-a-vis original guidelines where provision was only 0.4%," said an analyst. "Now, within DCCO, the first quarter itself will attract higher provision."

Stricter regulations lead to drop in derivatives participation: NSE chief

Ahmedabad: With stricter regulations in place, there has been a significant drop in participation in the derivatives segment, said Ashish Chauhan, MD & CEO of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), on Friday. Chauhan was in the city to launch a book based on his life. He also participated in a discussion on Indian financial markets with international tax expert Mukesh Patel. Speaking to the media, Chauhan said, "SEBI increased lot sizes and margin requirements for trading in derivatives to ensure that small investors do not lose money. In June last year, around 55 lakh investors traded in derivatives at least once. That number has now come down to about 30 lakh." He also stated that NSE International Exchange at GIFT City has signed an agreement with the Cyprus Stock Exchange for dual listing and joint product development.
