The housing finance company (HFC) may also see stake sale of up to 25% by promoter private equity firm Blackstone, in case the IPO plans do not fructify, he said.“We are in discussion with promoters on the next steps,” Anand says. “Indicatively, it looks like before March 2024, we should have some deal in place,” he added.

Aadhar Housing, formerly owned by the troubled Dewan Housing Group, is currently owned 98% by Blackstone and has around 2% ownership by ICICI Bank. The housing finance company’s last IPO card had lapsed in May 2023, as it delayed the same due to volatile market conditions.
