State Bank of India's subsidiary SBI Funds Management Limited (SBIFML) has filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI on March 19, 2026, for an IPO of up to 20.37 crore equity shares, representing about 10% of its paid-up capital. The IPO will be an Offer for Sale (OFS) with SBI selling up to 6.30% of SBIFML's stake (12.83 crore shares) and Amundi India Holding selling up to 3.70% (7.54 crore shares). The number of shares SBI plans to sell has been revised upward from 3.21 crore to 12.83 crore due to bonus share issuance and ESOP exercises at SBIFML. SBIFML reported total income of Rs 4,230.92 crore in FY25 (0.64% of SBI Group's total income). The price band and offer price are yet to be decided, and the IPO remains subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.
This signals progress towards unlocking value in SBI's mutual fund subsidiary. While SBI will remain the majority owner, the partial divestment provides a route to monetize its stake in a high-quality asset. Short-term share price impact may be limited as the parent retains control, but successful listing of SBIFML could create long-term value visibility for SBI shareholders.
