Delhivery raises Rs 2,346 cr from anchor investors as IPO opens today
Logistics major Delhivery on Tuesday
raised Rs 2,346 crore from 64 anchor investors. The Gurugram-based firm
allotted nearly 48.2 million shares at Rs 487 apiece, the upper end of its IPO
price band. Sources said the anchor book saw nearly 10 times more demand than
the shares on offer.
Amansa, Goldman Sachs, Aberdeen, Tiger Global, Schroder, and
Baillie Gifford were among the anchor investors who got an allotment.
Seven domestic mutual funds (MF) invested through 15 different
schemes. The allotment made to them formed 30 per cent of the anchor book. SBI
MF and HDFC MF were among the domestic funds which got an allotment.
Delhivery’s IPO size is Rs 5,235 crore, the second-biggest after
LIC this year. The price band for the IPO is Rs 462 to Rs 487 per share. At the
top-end, Delhivery will
have a market cap of Rs 35,284 crore on a post-diluted basis.
The company's IPO opens on Wednesday and closes on Friday.
Delhivery is
looking to raise Rs 4,000 crore of fresh capital through the IPO. The remaining
Rs 1,235 crore will be an offer for sale (OFS) for investors, which includes
private equity firms Carlyle and Softbank.
Delhivery plans to raise Rs 2,000 crore of issue proceeds for
funding organic growth initiatives such as scaling up existing and adjacent
business lines. It will use Rs 1,000 crore proceeds for funding inorganic
growth. In the past five years, the company has undertaken over half a dozen
strategic alliances and acquisitions to spur growth.
Delhivery has a total addressable market (TAM) of over $300
billion. However, its market share is only half a per cent, underscoring the
largely untapped opportunity.
