Prestige Hospitality Ventures Ltd., the hotel business tied to Prestige Estates Projects Ltd., has taken back its draft IPO paperwork. Prestige Estates is described as India's fourth most valuable developer, and the hospitality unit said the rethink was driven by strategic considerations alongside uncertain market conditions.
The decision came on the heels of an August pact with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which agreed to provide as much as 30 billion rupees, roughly $313 million, in exchange for up to 28% of the unit. With fresh capital lined up, management pointed to strategy and volatility as reasons to pause the public filing for now.
Since August, more than 50 Indian firms have made their mainboard debut, and many others are rushing to list ahead of the Sept. 30 regulatory deadline. But the action has skewed smaller, and turbulence has already pushed some issuers to trim deal sizes or sit out entirely.
