Rothschild Foresees Surge in Global Firms Listing Indian Units by 2026

Rothschild & Co anticipates that at least 10 multinational companies will list their Indian subsidiaries in Mumbai within the next year, attracted by India’s fast-growing economy and premium market valuations, as per Bloomberg. 

Claire Suddens-Spiers, Vice Chair of Global Market Solutions at Rothschild, noted that India’s thriving equity landscape has made it a prime destination for international firms seeking stronger investor confidence and higher valuations.

Global Companies Eyeing Indian IPOs

According to Rothschild, the Indian stock market’s robust performance is drawing more global firms towards initial public offerings (IPOs). Equities in India trade at a premium to most major markets, giving companies ample incentive to list locally. 

India has already seen IPOs worth around $16 billion this year, with a substantial share coming from local arms of multinational corporations. Recent high-profile listings include LG Electronics India Ltd., which surged 48% on debut after raising $1.3 billion, and Hyundai Motor’s Indian unit, which secured $3.3 billion in its offering last year.

Domestic Investors Driving Market Strength

Rothschild attributes much of India’s IPO boom to increased participation from domestic retail and institutional investors. 

Asset managers, family offices, and other local institutions have become crucial players, often acting as anchor investors that set pricing benchmarks. Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors increasingly participate as price takers, reflecting the growing maturity of India’s capital markets.
