State Bank of India’s asset-management subsidiary, SBI Funds Management Ltd, is set to open its initial public offering for public subscription on July 14 and close on July 16. Anchor investors can submit bids on July 13, while bids by qualified institutional buyers close on July 15. The price band is scheduled to be disclosed on July 9. The IPO is structured entirely as an offer for sale (OFS), meaning SBI Funds Management does not receive new funds; instead, existing shareholders reduce their stakes and proceeds go to the selling shareholders. SBI will sell about 12.83 crore equity shares (around 6.3% of paid-up equity), and Amundi India Holdings will sell about 7.54 crore equity shares (around 3.7%). Together, the two shareholders offload approximately 10% through the public issue. The basis of allotment is expected to be finalised after subscriptions close, with sources pointing to July 18. The company expects to be valued at up to about ₹1.17 lakh crore, with the offer representing up to roughly 10.0013% of paid-up equity capital. The deal remains subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, including market factors.
