Coca-Cola Appoints JPMorgan and Citi for 2027 India Bottler IPO
Coca-Cola has appointed JPMorgan and Citi as bankers for the planned 2027 initial public offering of its majority-owned Indian bottling partner, Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings. The company is preparing to list the unit and explore a partial stake sale, joining other global firms like Pernod Ricard and Carlsberg in tapping India's equity markets. Kotak and Morgan Stanley are also reportedly involved. This move aims to monetize investments amid India's relatively higher market valuations compared to domestic markets.
