India’s Enam Securities, J.M. Financial, SBI Capital Markets and Kotak Mahindra Capital Co are also among 11 firms competing for the IPO, the paper said.
UTI Mutual Fund, which manages assets worth Rs450 billion ($11.5 billion) is likely to choose three to four firms within a month and file the prospectus for the IPO by December, it said.
