Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings (HCCH), Coca-Cola’s Indian bottling arm, filed draft IPO papers for an offer for sale of up to 99.75 crore shares. The shares will be sold by promoter Hindustan Coca-Cola Overseas Holdings Pte Ltd, so HCCH will receive no IPO proceeds. A separate report said the sale would reduce the promoter’s stake from 60% to about 45%, with no new capital raised for HCCH. The offering was described as consistent with Coca-Cola’s asset-light strategy of divesting bottling assets.
