The HDFC Bank went public in 1995 and share was listed at about Rs.40, 3 times its issue price. The paid-up capital in the year 1995 was 110 Cr and the M.cap of the company was at 4400 Cr.

The 1 lacs invested in 1995 has become 1 cr now.

 Attraction towards SIPs and Future Growth

The Indian economy is traditionally a saving economy where in the past people mostly park their money in the risk-free schemes such as FD, PPF, EPF, Postal Schemes etc. However, the trend is slowly changing, with falling interest rates to boost growth, the debt instruments have become less lucrative and not having the potential to beat inflation made people invest in equity-linked schemes. In the past 1-2 years, we have seen an unprecedented flow of SIPs in the market reflecting the changing mindset of India’s new generation. The below table represents a SIP inflows in last 2 years. It is clearly seen how it has almost tripled in the last 2 years.

The Indian Mutual Fund Industry today having total AUM of 23.5 Lacs Crore and as per the report, it will reach 100 Lacs Crore by 2025. The average AUM/GDP in the world is around 62% and in India, it is only 12%. The USA has more than 100%. So we can easily imagine the growth available in this business. The HDFC AMC being a leader having market share of 13% will be real king in the making.
