Swiggy’s latest listing plan includes Rs 5,000 crore fresh issue
Swiggy may increase the fresh issue component of its upcoming IPO to ₹5,000 crore, and will seek the approval of its shareholders for the same at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on October 3, it said in a notice to shareholders. The food and grocery delivery company had initially planned to raise ₹3,750 crore in fresh capital in addition to a ₹6,664 crore offer for sale by existing investors.
The final size of Swiggy's IPO could be different from the approval it is seeking from its shareholders. Swiggy has made a confidential filing of its draft prospectus for its IPO with the Securities and Exchange Board of India. The company's board of directors had first accorded its approval to the public offering back in April. Tuesday's development was first reported by online news portal Entrackr. Last week, Swiggy reported its financials for the year ended March 31, 2024. It recorded a 36% year-on-year growth in its operating revenue to ₹11,247 crore, while managing to reduce its net loss to ₹2,350 crore, 44% lower than a year ago.
In its mainstay food delivery business, Swiggy competes with Zomato, while in the quick commerce space, its vertical Instamart competes with the likes of Zomato-owned Blinkit, Nexus Venture Partners-backed Zepto, Flipkart Minutes and Tata Digital's BigBasket.
