On the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the shares opened at ₹412, marking a 5.64% increase. The highly anticipated IPO saw substantial interest, especially from qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), demonstrating strong demand and investor confidence. The Swiggy share price was closely watched, with investors eager to see how it performed in its debut.

Retail investors subscribed 1.14 times, while non-institutional investors (NIIs) underperformed with a 0.41 times subscription rate.

The IPO comprised a fresh issue of 11.54 crore shares valued at ₹4,499.00 crore and an offer for sale of 17.51 crore shares amounting to ₹6,828.43 crore.
