According to the report, the primary component of the Swiggy IPO has been upsized to around Rs 4500 crore and the offer for sale component has also been tweaked depending on investor participation.
Swiggy last month filed its updated draft papers with markets regulator Sebi to raise funds through its much-anticipated Rs 10,000-crore IPO. The updated draft filing comes after Swiggy’s confidential offer document was approved by Sebi earlier this week.

The proposed IPO will comprise a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 3,750 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 18.52 crore equity shares by existing shareholders, according to the updated draft red herring prospectus (UDRHP).

Swiggy Pre-IPO
Swiggy is also looking to raise funds a pre-IPO round. If this occurs, the size of the fresh issue will be reduced accordingly. The company filed its offer document on April 30 through the confidential pre-filing route.
Under the confidential filing process, Sebi reviews confidential DRHP and provides comments on it. Thereafter, the company going public is required to file an update to the confidential DRHP (UDRHP-I) after incorporating the regulator’s comments. This UPDRHP-I is made available for public comments over 21 days.
Finally, after incorporating the changes due to public comments, the company is required to update the DRHP-II (UDRHP-II).
