P/B – 3.35×

Muthoot FinCorp IPO: ₹3,000 Crore in Focus
One of the biggest developments around Muthoot FinCorp is its proposed IPO.
The company filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) in August 2026 for a proposed IPO of up to ₹3,000 crore.
This could potentially mark an important transition for the company from the unlisted market to the public market.
