CARE Ratings, the monitoring agency for BlueStone's Rs. 820 crore IPO (August 2025), has flagged significant concerns. Rs. 56.63 crore of IPO proceeds remain unutilized despite the offer document stipulating full deployment by March 31, 2026. The company transferred funds from the Monitoring Agency account to current accounts, causing co-mingling of funds. The Board has approved using the unutilized amount for general corporate purposes in FY 2026-27, but no formal approval for timeline extension was received. The company has also reported substantial net losses of Rs. 142.24 crore (FY24), Rs. 219.21 crore (FY25), though losses reduced to Rs. 18 crore in 9M FY26.
The delay in utilizing IPO proceeds and co-mingling of funds raises governance concerns. Shareholders should monitor whether the company deploys funds efficiently for stated objectives and whether the Board-approved redirection to general corporate purposes aligns with IPO commitments.
