In a recent stock exchange filing, Info Edge, the biggest investor in Zomato, has revealed that it will only sell its share worth Rs 375 crore in the coming Zomato IPO. Earlier, it had a plan to sell its stake worth Rs 750 crore in Zomato Initial Public Offering(IPO).

In a formal statement released on July 4, Info Edge stated that the Committee of Executive Directors of the company, having been duly authorized in this regard, have considered and given their approval today for a reduction in the size of the Offer for Sale by the Company to the extent permitted under the SEBI, such that the revised Offer for Sale by the Company would comprise of such number of Equity Shares held by the Company in Zomato, as would aggregate up to Rs 3,750 million, the terms and conditions of which will be specified in the red herring prospectus and the prospectus filed with the Offer, and in other Offer related documents and agreements.

Info Edge share also saw a surge of 5% to Rs 5626 in Bombay Stock Exchange(BSE) after media portals reported that the Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI) approved Zomato’s application to launch an IPO. In the last three sessions of the Indian market, Info Edge’s share jumped by 14%.
