Indian logistics firm Ecom Express files for $310 mln IPO
BENGALURU, Aug 15 (Reuters) -Logistics firm Ecom Express on Thursday filed for an initial public offering (IPO) worth up to 26 billion rupees ($310 million), its draft papers showed.
The IPO will consist of a fresh issue of shares worth up to 12.85 billion rupees while existing investors will offload shares aggregating to 13.16 billion rupees.
The e-commerce logistics firm, which counts Amazon and beauty products retailer Nykaa among its clients, looks to go public at a time when India's IPO space has seen more than 150 companies raise around $5 billion this year as of July-end.
The company, which competes with the likes of Delhivery DELH.NS and Blue Dart BLDT.NS, said it intends to use funds from the fresh issue towards setting up of new processing and fulfilment centres, investment in IT equipment and payment of debt.
Among those selling their existing stakes, Partners Group's PGHN.S PG Esmeralda and Warburg Pincus's Eaglebay Investment would sell holdings worth 9.31 billion rupees and 2.11 billion rupees, respectively.
Ecom Express reported a net loss of 2.54 billion rupees for the year ended March 31, 2024, compared with a loss of 4.22 billion rupees, a year earlier.
