Zomato share price has shown a positive trend, particularly with the recent news of its inclusion in the BSE Sensex, replacing JSW Steel. This inclusion, effective from December 23, marks Zomato as the first new-age tech stock in the 30-stock index, a significant milestone that reflects the company's growing prominence in the market. On the announcement day, Zomato’s shares surged by 3.3%, closing at ₹272.90.
The shares, each with a face value of ₹1, are being offered under the stringent guidelines of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as well as the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Zomato also hinted at a possible additional discount of up to 5% on the floor price, subject to shareholder approval, which could further enhance the attractiveness of this offering to potential investors.
Zomato’s QIP offering represents a strategic move to fortify its financial position and support its ambitious growth plans. The company's proactive approach to managing its capital structure and investing in growth opportunities is indicative of its long-term strategy to maintain and enhance its market position in the competitive online food delivery sector.
