Real estate major Emaar MGF decided on Friday to withdraw its initial public offering as the issue could not get fully subscribed.

"The decision has been taken due to prevailing adverse market condition...although the QIB and HNI portions of the IPO were fully subscribed and the overall book was closed to 90 per cent," the company said in a statement.

Emaar MGF, the joint venture between Dubai-based Emaar and India's MGF Development, has said that it would consider IPO at an appropriate time.

"Given the prevailing sentiments in the capital markets, it was unclear how well the stock would trade post-listing. It has been considered wiser to revisit the market only when the demand and sentiment are stable and better providing greater value to investors", it said.
