Delhivery IPO: Yet to Convincingly Deliver

By Arun George

  • Delhivery is the largest and fastest-growing 3PL express parcel delivery player in India. It has cut its IPO raise from Rs74.6 billion ($1 billion) to Rs52.4 billion ($0.7 billion).
  • In Delhivery IPO Initiation: Can It Deliver?, we noted that the fundamentals are mixed as it has been unable to leverage strong growth to deliver profits or cash generation.  
  • In this note, we look at the RHP which discloses 9MFY22 results. We continue to believe the negatives outweigh the positives. We are inclined to give the IPO a pass.
