Swiggy’s initial public offering (IPO), which raised Rs 11,327 crore, had been fully subscribed, reaching 3.59 times subscription by the final day of the sale, with a price range set between Rs 371 and Rs 390 per share. Despite subdued grey market expectations, Swiggy’s opening exceeded forecasts, indicating strong initial investor interest.
However, shortly after its listing, Swiggy's shares experienced notable volatility. By around 10:20 am, the stock had fallen nearly 5 percent on the NSE, trading at Rs 400.45, reflecting mixed investor sentiments amid broader market fluctuations. Swiggy's early trading performance underscores the challenges posed by current market conditions, despite the positive reception of its IPO and a robust market capitalization of Rs 89,549.08 crore during early trade. Investors are closely watching the stock's trajectory amid this initial volatility.
