PRISM Files Rs 6,650 Crore Fresh Issue IPO to Repay Debt and Support Growth
PRISM, the parent company of OYO, has filed updated IPO papers with SEBI for a fresh issue worth Rs 6,650 crore, aiming primarily to repay borrowings. The IPO excludes any offer for sale by existing shareholders, including SoftBank, founder Ritesh Agarwal, and others. PRISM operates over 43 brands across 35 countries and reported a net profit of Rs 748 crore for the nine months ending December 2025. The company may also consider a pre-IPO placement of up to Rs 1,330 crore, which would reduce the fresh issue amount. Proceeds beyond debt repayment will support general corporate purposes, with shares proposed to list on NSE and BSE.
