BABA-W (09988.HK) offered USD1.5 billion (approximately HKD11.75 billion) to acquire Chinese fresh grocery delivery company Pupu, in a bid to seize online commerce market share from MEITUAN-W (03690.HK), Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Pupu is one of the leading instant fresh retail platforms in Mainland China, with annual revenue exceeding RMB30 billion. BABA-W's proposed acquisition price is reportedly more than double the earlier USD600 million offer made by SUNART RETAIL (06808.HK), highlighting intensifying competition among BABA-W, MEITUAN-W and JD-SW (09618.HK) in the local e-commerce and fresh grocery markets.
