Alibaba Group Holding Ltd plans to sell a stake of about 3% in Indian food delivery firm Zomato Ltd worth $200 million through a block deal, CNBC Awaaz reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
The Chinese e-commerce giant, through its finance affiliate Ant Group, currently owns a 13.3% stake in Zomato, according to Refinitiv data.
Alibaba and Zomato did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
The block deal on Wednesday will likely be at a 5% to 6% discount to Zomato’s Tuesday close of 63.55 rupees, a CNBC Awaaz reporter said in a tweet.
The development comes months after Uber Technologies sold its 7.8% stake in Zomato for $392 million via a block trade on local exchanges, Reuters reported in August, citing sources.
