Swiggy Limited has capped aggregate foreign ownership at 49.50% on a fully diluted basis, a move designed to align the company with regulations governing Indian owned and controlled entities. The Board of Directors approved the restriction on July 23, 2026, limiting investment from foreign portfolio investors, non-resident Indians, and foreign-owned Indian companies, while excluding the non-repatriation route. This structural adjustment aims to secure regulatory compliance and clarify the company’s governance framework ahead of its upcoming shareholder meeting.

The company has scheduled its 13th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. IST, to be conducted via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means. The filing was submitted pursuant to Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015, read with Schedule III Part A Para A. Additionally, the process complies with Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013, Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014, Regulation 44 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, and the Secretarial Standards on General Meetings issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India.

Shareholders will vote on several key proposals, including the deletion of certain individual and institutional nomination rights through special resolutions. These amendments to the Articles of Association intend to clarify the conditions governing the exercise and cessation of nomination rights. In addition to the ownership cap, Swiggy proposed reclassifying its authorised preference share capital into authorised equity share capital. This change does not alter the total authorised share capital but requires an amendment to Clause V of the Memorandum of Association, which will be approved via an ordinary resolution.
