Supply chain unicorn Delhivery has decided on a price band of Rs 462-487 per share for its reduced forthcoming initial public offering (IPO) of over Rs 5,235 crore. The IPO will open on May 11, 2022 and close on May 13, 2022.
Delhivery had received approval from the markets regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise ₹7,460 crore through an IPO that included a fresh issue of equity shares worth ₹5,000 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) component of ₹2,460 crore by existing shareholders.
The 30 percent reduced IPO will see fresh issue of shares worth Rs 4,000 crore and OFS of Rs 1,235 crore.
Gurugram-based Delhivery's IPO will be an offer to sell shares with a face value of ₹1 each. Under the initial OFS, Delhivery's co-founders - Kapil Bharati, Mohit Tandon and Suraj Saharan - were to sell shares worth ₹14 crore, ₹40 crore and ₹6 crore, respectively. While Bharti will now be selling shares worth only Rs 5 crore, Tandon and Saharan will divest their proposed shares.
"Allotments were made to certain pre-IPO shareholders in September 2021 at Rs 380 per share," according to the IPO documents.
