SBI Mutual Fund Raises Stake in Swiggy Above 5% with Rs 300 Crore Purchase
SBI Mutual Fund increased its stake in Swiggy by acquiring 1.18 crore shares worth over Rs 300 crore through open market transactions, raising its holding to approximately 5.1%. This purchase surpasses the 5% disclosure threshold under SEBI rules. The move follows Swiggy's recent shareholder approval to cap foreign ownership at 49.5%, enabling its quick commerce arm Instamart to shift to an inventory-led model aimed at improving revenues and margins. Domestic mutual funds collectively hold 22.8% in Swiggy as of June 2026.
