, while the portion given to retail investors was 114% subscribed.

The IPO comprised both an offer for the ***** of existing shares, worth 68.28 billion rupees, and a fresh issue of shares, worth 44.99 billion rupees.

The lead bookrunners for this IPO included Kotak Mahindra Capital, J.P. Morgan India, and Citigroup Global Markets India.

Swiggy said the net proceeds of 43.59 billion rupees from the fresh issue of shares will be used to pay down borrowings in its subsidiary Scootsy, as well as for further investment in the subsidiary.

Proceeds could also be used to fund inorganic growth “through unidentified acquisitions and general corporate purposes,” among other things.
