According to the aforementioned report, as early as 2016, Didi was listed in the Cape Town Islands to prepare for listing, and was originally planned to be listed in the second half of 2018. However, after entering the year of 2018, due to the large-scale rival US group to enter the network car market, and due to the recent frequent traffic safety incidents, the listing plan of Didi was temporarily stranded.
Didi said that the company has never had a clear timetable for listing since its establishment, and has never discussed the listing plan at any board or management meeting. At present, the company is fully committed to the security operation guarantee work.
