Carlsberg India files updated IPO papers
The proposed IPO is entirely OFS of up to 8.64 crore equity shares by promoter South Asian Breweries Pvt Ltd, with no fresh issue component, according to the updated DRHP dated October 27.
Carlsberg India Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of Danish brewing company Carlsberg, has taken a significant step towards its IPO by submitting updated draft papers to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). The proposed initial public offering (IPO) involves the sale of up to 8.64 crore equity shares by the parent company, South Asian Breweries Pvt Ltd, with no new shares being issued.
This development comes after the company received Sebi's approval for its IPO on October 1, enabling progress towards the public offering. Carlsberg India had initially filed its draft offer documents with Sebi through a confidential pre-filing route on July 1, allowing for the review of commercially sensitive information without immediate public disclosure.
With this move, Carlsberg joins a list of multinational companies seeking to tap into India's equity markets, joining others such as Hyundai Motor and LG Electronics, which have already listed their Indian subsidiaries. Operating in India, Carlsberg India is known for its popular beer brands, including Tuborg, Carlsberg Elephant, and Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc.
The company reported a 2.2% decline in revenue to Rs 8,708.8 crore in fiscal year 2026 (FY26), but its profit increased by 22% to Rs 534.51 crore during the same period. The book-running lead managers for the public issue include Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, Citigroup Global Markets India, and JPMorgan India.
