The company filed papers in April seeking regulatory approval for the Rs. 7,875 crore IPO, the year’s most anticipated public offering.
The approval comes after one of the company’s largest shareholders, Info Edge India, decided to reduce its offer for sale (OFS) in the IPO to Rs. 375 crore from Rs. 750 crore previously.
Info Edge India Ltd., one of Zomato’s early investors, will sell its stake in the company in the upcoming IPO for Rs750 crore.
Zomato will raise Rs. 7,500 crore from the public offering through the issuance of new equity shares. The proceeds will be used to fund organic and inorganic growth opportunities worth over Rs. 5,500 crore by the company.
The much-awaited initial public offer (IPO) of online food delivery and restaurant discovery platform Zomato is expected to open for subscription on July 19 at a price band of Rs 70-72 per share, said people with direct knowledge of the development. The offer size will likely be as much as Rs 9,375 crore at this price.
