A change in Swiggy’s shareholding pattern grabbed the market's attention and sent the stock soaring over 7%. Foreign ownership has fallen below the 50% mark, making domestic investors the majority shareholders. Here's what changed and why the company says there is no immediate impact on control.
Swiggy saw strong buying interest on Tuesday afternoon after the company informed exchanges that its aggregate foreign ownership had fallen below the 50% mark. The announcement caught investors' attention with its share price rallying over 7% during the session.
The company said aggregate foreign investment, including foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign portfolio investment (FPI) and other indirect foreign investment, stood at 49.76% of its fully diluted paid-up equity share capital as of July 6. With foreign ownership dropping below the halfway mark, domestic ownership has now increased to 50.24%.
The update is considered an important milestone in Swiggy Ltd's efforts to transition into an Indian Owned and Controlled Company (IOCC). Such a status could help its quick commerce business, Instamart, move closer to an inventory-led operating model under India's foreign investment regulations.
While the development is significant, the company clarified that the reduction in foreign shareholding does not automatically change its ownership or control status.
In its stock exchange filing, Swiggy Ltd said there has been no change in its share capital, management, business operations, voting rights or the rights attached to its equity shares. It added that any material development regarding its ownership or control status will be disclosed in line with applicable regulations.
Swiggy Ltd is a consumer technology company that operates a unified platform for food delivery, grocery shopping and other convenience services. Through its app, customers can order meals, groceries and household essentials, while its Instamart business focuses on quick commerce deliveries through an on-demand delivery network.
The stock reacted almost immediately after the company released the update around 12:40 pm. Before the announcement, the share was trading at ₹257.60 at around 12:39 pm. Soon after the filing, buying activity gained traction, and the stock climbed to an intraday high of ₹267.40. The stock eventually settled at ₹266.20, up ₹17.83 or 7.18% for the day.
Despite Tuesday's sharp rally, the stock has remained under pressure over a longer period. Swiggy Ltd share price is down 31.87% on a year-to-date basis. Over the past one year, the stock has declined 29.32%.
