Swiggy is revamping board composition and voting rights to reclassify as an Indian-owned and controlled company under FEMA/FDI norms, unlocking regulatory flexibility for inventory-based e-commerce and its Instamart quick-commerce business, matching domestic-controlled rivals' structures.

Why this matters

Follows Swiggy's earlier IOCC restructuring push and comes as it cedes ~200 bps QC share to Eternal-Blinkit. IOCC status enables inventory e-commerce to defend Instamart against rivals balancing growth and profit.
