Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL), the Indian arm of the South Korean automaker, on Monday raised 8,315 crore from anchor investors, just a day before its much-awaited initial share-sale opening for public subscription. Some of HMIL's anchor investors are New World Fund Inc, Government of Singapore, Fidelity Funds, BlackRock Global Funds, JP Morgan Funds, HDFC Life Insurance Company and SBI Life Insurance Company.

BSE has stated in a circular that HMIL has allotted 4.24 crore shares to 225 funds at 1,960 apiece, which is also the upper end of the price band. This translates to a transaction volume of 8,315.27 crore.

Out of the total allocation of 4.24 crore equity shares to the anchor investors, HMIL allocated 1.46 crore equity shares to 21 domestic mutual funds through 83 schemes, amounting to 34.42 per cent of the total shares. Some of the major mutual funds that participated in the anchor round include ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund (MF), HDFC MF, SBI MF, Nippon India MF, Kotak MF, Axis MF, Aditya Birla Sun Life MF, UTI MF and Bandhan MF.
