Swiggy Board Approves Foreign Ownership Cap to Pursue Indian-Owned Status
Swiggy's board has approved capping the company's aggregate foreign ownership at 49.5% to qualify as an Indian-owned and controlled company (IOCC). This move, pending shareholder approval at the August 18 AGM, aims to enable Swiggy to adopt an inventory-led model through its quick commerce brand Instamart, improving margins and supply chain control. The board also approved amendments to the Articles of Association to align with Indian foreign exchange laws. Rival Blinkit has undertaken a similar transition to an inventory model.
