This move by GSPC was followed by the news that Cairn India, British owned oil group is planning for an IPO (Initial Public Offering) of 30% of the business in Bombay in December this year (2006). Cairn is targeting to raise US$ 620 Million.
In November's (2006) first week GSPC appointed London bankers at US, Citigroup, HSBC, and Morgan Stanley for handling the float, among the largest on BSE. As per the sources that are close to the deal, GSPC targets to sell its 10%-25% stocks in the beginning of the year 2007, rising to nearly US$ 2 Billion. (Reliance Industries refining subsidiary, Reliance Petroleum, raised US$ 650 Million at its IPO on BSE in May 2006).
