Delhivery IPO: Logistics services firm Delhivery has reportedly received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering or IPO of Rs 7,460 crore. This comes amid a surge in interest among companies to issue their public offerings since last year. The IPO boom is expected to continue this year with around 40 companies awaiting SEBI nod. Delhivery is the first unicorn this year to get its IPO approved by the market regulator. According to reports, experts have even said that it can cross last year’s level.
Delhivery had in November filed draft papers with Sebi for an initial offer of Rs 7,460 crore. The Delhivery IPO is expected to hit the market soon, as it has received approval from SEBI. The company will raise Rs 5,000 crore through fresh issue while the remaining Rs 2,460 crore will be put up for sale.
The Delhi IPO date, lot size and share price are yet to be announced, as no official notification was issued regarding the IPO. According to a report in ET Now, the IPO will not clash with the Union Budget, which is to be presented on February 1.
Gurugram-based Logistics Services Unicorn has become the first unicorn to get SEBI approval in the stock market in 2022, according to an Economic Times report. The public offering by SoftBank and Carlyle-baked Delhivery comes after bumper listings on the stock market by unicorns Nykaa and Zomato last year. However, Paytm IPO on Dalal Street has become a cause of concern for investors as well as the primary market. It remains to be seen how the Delhi IPO performs during the listing.
According to the Economic Times report, SoftBank and Carlyle will sell their shares during the IPO. In addition, Times Internet was listed among the shareholders sold during the DHRP filed in November, the report said. Three of the five co-founders of Delhivery, including Kapil Bharti, Mohit Tandon and Sooraj Saharan, will also sell their shares during the public issue.
In a previous ET report, Delhivery was seeking a valuation of $6-6.5 billion for the listing during its DHRP filing.
