Swiggy's Domestic Ownership Crosses 50%, Advancing Toward IOCC Status
Swiggy's domestic ownership has surpassed 50%, with foreign investment dropping to approximately 49.76% as of July 6, 2026, according to company filings. This milestone brings Swiggy closer to qualifying as an Indian Owned and Controlled Company (IOCC), a status that could enable its quick commerce arm, Instamart, to own inventory directly and improve supply chain efficiency. However, the company clarified that this change does not yet alter its ownership or control status, following a failed shareholder vote in May to amend its Articles of Association for IOCC classification. Swiggy has committed to disclosing any material developments related to ownership or control.
