Swiggy IPO: Here’s what GMP signals ahead of issue opening on Wednesday, November 6

Swiggy IPO is scheduled to open on Wednesday, November 6, and close on Friday, November 8. The details on allocation to anchor investors for Swiggy IPO will be out Tuesday, November 5. Swiggy IPO price band has been fixed in the range of ₹371 to 390 per equity share of face value of ₹1.

Swiggy offers its users a user-friendly platform accessible through one app to explore, choose, order, and pay for food (Food Delivery), groceries and household items (Instamart), and have their orders delivered to their homes through a network of on-demand delivery partners.

Bloomberg's report pointed out that Swiggy's IPO might echo past experiences. The media coverage mentioned that the history of significant initial public offerings in India is rather disheartening. Offerings that have secured more than $1 billion typically fail to provide a substantial increase on their first day of trading. Swiggy’s $1.3 billion offering appears to be on track to follow that pattern, as the grey market price is just 6% above ₹390, the maximum limit of the IPO’s price range.

Furthermore, Zomato’s shares have declined by 17% over the past month, and the poor performance of Hyundai Motor India IPO could cause retail investors to reconsider their stance, the report said.
