EaseMyTrip has announced plans to raise up to Rs 500 crore as it prepares for its next growth phase, according to a disclosure submitted to stock exchanges on Monday. The listed online travel platform said the proposed fundraising will provide the company with additional flexibility to invest in priority segments and long-term strategic initiatives.
As outlined in the filing, the company may execute the capital raise in one or more tranches using routes permitted under applicable laws. These options include a rights issue, qualified institutions placement (QIP), preferential issue, private placement, or other approved mechanisms. The final structure of the transaction — including its size, pricing, timeline, and format — will be determined based on prevailing market conditions and regulatory requirements.
The company indicated that the funds will primarily be directed toward strengthening its position in high-growth areas such as hotels and holiday packages. In addition, part of the proceeds may be allocated toward technology enhancements, platform upgrades, and other strategic opportunities aligned with its broader expansion roadmap.
“The proposed capital raise of up to Rs 500 crore is about being ready. It gives us the flexibility to invest at the right time, whether in technology or strategic opportunities that fit our larger vision,” said Nishant Pitti, Founder and Chairman and Managing Director of EaseMyTrip. He further emphasized that the company intends to maintain a disciplined approach to deploying capital, with a clear focus on sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
Established in 2008, EaseMyTrip has grown to become one of India’s largest online travel-tech platforms in terms of air ticket bookings. The bootstrapped firm has expanded beyond air travel to build a diversified portfolio that includes hotels, holiday packages, train bookings, bus services, and cab offerings. As competition intensifies within the travel-tech space, the company is aiming to deepen its integrated travel ecosystem and strengthen its footprint in non-air categories.
In the third quarter of the current fiscal year, EaseMyTrip reported revenue of Rs 151 crore. However, its profit declined 90% year-on-year to Rs 3.4 crore in Q3FY26. At present, the company’s shares are trading at Rs 7.32, with a total market capitalisation of Rs 2,662 crore.
With the proposed fundraising, EaseMyTrip appears focused on reinforcing its competitive positioning while creating room for strategic investments that support its evolving business model and long-term ambitions.
