InterGlobe Aviation Pvt., which operates Indian budget carrier IndiGo, has chosen banks for an initial public offering next year that could raise about $400 million, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Citigroup Inc. (C), JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley will lead the offering, which may value the company at about $3 billion, the people said. Deutsche Bank AG, Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. and Standard Chartered Plc are also working on the share sale, one of the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private.
India’s biggest domestic carrier by market share is seeking a listing as it faces new competition from AirAsia Bhd. (AIRA), whose local venture started operations last month. Over the past seven years, the country’s airlines have lost an average $22 every time a passenger stepped on board, according to estimates from CAPA Center for Aviation.
IndiGo had a 30.2 percent market share on local routes in the first five months of the year, compared with Jet Airways India Ltd. (JETIN)’s 22.9 percent and Air India Ltd.’s 19.3 percent, according to aviation ministry data.
