Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. has started taking investor orders for a Hong Kong stock offering that is likely to be the world’s biggest listing this year.

CATL, as the Chinese electric-vehicle battery giant is known, is seeking to raise as much as HK$41 billion ($5.3 billion), according to its listing document on Monday. That’s if the deal is upsized and the greenshoe exercised on top of the base offering of up to HK$31 billion.
