“The objects of the offer are to carry out the Offer for Sale of up to 142,194,700 (over 142 million) Equity Shares of the face value of Rs 10 each by the Promoter Selling Shareholder and to achieve the benefits of listing the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges," according to the DRHP.

The company established its first Indian manufacturing plant in 1998 and a second one in 2008.
Over the past year, Hyundai Motor Group has announced new investment plans in India totalling approximately five trillion won ($3.75 billion).
