Westlife Foodworld Ltd, formerly known as Westlife Development Ltd (WDL), the owner and operator of McDonald’s restaurants in West and South India, has announced its official listing on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) under the ticker symbol Westlife.

Westlife was previously only “cleared to trade” but is now listed on the NSE and BSE, giving it greater access to a wider range of shareholders, the company said.

The listing on the NSE is a testament to Westlife Foodworld’s business fundamentals, growth trajectory and commitment to delivering value to customers, the company said.

“It also reflects the financial market’s confidence in the company’s future potential. Listing on a prestigious stock market such as the NSE will bring more visibility to the company and its shares and high compliance on both exchanges,” it added, in addition to making it easier for investors to trade stocks.

Amit Jatia, Chairman of Westlife Foodworld Ltd, said: “We are delighted to announce the listing of our company on the National Stock Exchange, which marks an important milestone in our journey.”

“We believe this announcement will provide opportunities for more investors to become part of our growth story. We remain committed to delivering value to all stakeholders, including our customers, employees, shareholders and the communities in which we operate,” he added.
