IPO Alert: InCred Holdings Files Confidential DRHP with SEBI to Raise Funds

Mumbai-based InCred Holdings has submitted a confidential draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), likely to raise between ₹3,000 crore and ₹4,000 crore through an initial public offering. 

The proposed listing represents the next major step for the company as it looks to strengthen its balance sheet and expand lending operations across multiple retail and institutional verticals.

IPO Filing Through Confidential Route

The company has opted for SEBI’s confidential pre-filing route, a method that allows issuers to prepare their IPOs without immediately disclosing financial and structural details to the public. 

The approach, which is increasingly popular among large Indian corporations and fintechs, offers flexibility in timing and valuation while enabling issuers to refine disclosures before going live. Market experts suggest that this route has become the preferred strategy for financial firms seeking to test investor appetite discreetly before launch.

Financial Performance and Business Scale

InCred Holdings is the 100% parent company of InCred Financial Services, a diversified non-banking financial company (NBFC) that has disbursed over ₹25,000 crore in loans since inception. The firm reported assets under management (AUM) of ₹12,585 crore as of FY25, reflecting strong credit demand and portfolio expansion across retail and SME segments. 

Founded by Bhupinder Singh, a former Deutsche Bank executive, InCred has built a robust presence in consumer lending, education finance, and small business loans. Its technology-first approach and disciplined underwriting have positioned it as one of India’s emerging financial powerhouses.
