The price band is Rs. 462 – 487 per share. The IPO is a combination of fresh and OFS. The company will not receive any proceeds from the OFS portion. However from the fresh issue net proceeds, Rs. 2,000cr and Rs. 1,000cr will be utilized to fund organic and inorganic growth initiatives, respectively.
In Sept. 2021, Delhivery executed shares allotment to certain pre-IPO shareholders at a price of Rs. 380 per share, which is around 22% discount to the higher band of the IPO. With continuing volatility in the global equity market (arising from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, surge in crude & commodities prices and reemergence of Covid-19 cases in China), the company has reduced the IPO size by around 30% from an earlier target of raising Rs. 7,460.
