Zomato Limited announced on Friday that it has raised Rs 8,500 crore through a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) of equity shares. Last week, the foodtech firm received shareholders’ approval for the fundraise. The issuance involved 33,64,73,755 equity shares at Rs 252.62 each, including a premium of Rs 251.62 per share. This issuance price represents a 5% discount on the determined floor price of Rs 265.91 per share, the company informed in its stock exchange filings. This capital infusion is expected to bolster Zomato's financial position, facilitating business expansion and strategic initiatives, especially in the quick commerce space via Blinkit. The offering, which opened on November 25 and closed on November 28, received approval from Zomato’s Fund Raising Committee during its meeting held earlier today. Prominent mutual funds, such as ICICI Prudential and Motilal Oswal, were among the significant allottees, with the latter acquiring a total of 6.92 crore shares, accounting for 20.81% of the issue size. After the transaction, Zomato’s paid-up equity share capital has risen to Rs 917.28 crore. For the fiscal year ending in, Zomato achieved a remarkable 68.5% quarter-on-quarter growth in operating revenue, reaching Rs 4,799 crore in Q2 FY25 from Rs 2,848 crore in Q2 FY24. The company also recorded a 4.8x increase in net profit to Rs 176 crore in the September quarter. A recent report by Motilal Oswal highlights that Blinkit, owned by Zomato, dominates the quick commerce market with a 46% share. Zepto holds the second position with a 29% share, while Swiggy Instamart follows in third place with a 25% market share. Compared to the closing price of last Friday (November 22), Zomato saw a 6.8% rise to Rs 282 per share at 11:30 AM on November 29, 2024. The company’s market cap currently stands at around Rs 2,35,481 crore or $28 billion, while its closest rival, Swiggy, is trading at Rs 470 per share with a market cap of Rs 90,712 crore or $10.7 billion.
