Davangere Sugar Company has called an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) on April 24, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. in Davangere, to seek shareholder approval on five key resolutions. These include increasing the Authorised Share Capital from Rs. 150 Crore to Rs. 200 Crore (currently paid-up capital is Rs. 142.99 Crore across 1,42,99,90,798 equity shares of Rs. 1 each). The board is also seeking approval to raise the borrowing limit up to Rs. 1,500 Crore under Section 180(1)(c), and permission to create charges/mortgages on company assets to secure these borrowings. Additionally, the company proposes raising investment limits for NRIs/OCIs from 10% to 24% and for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) from 24% to the applicable sectoral cap. Finally, shareholders will vote on enabling the company to raise funds up to USD 100 Million through Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs), External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs), ADRs/GDRs, or other permissible modes. E-voting will run from April 21 to April 23, 2026, with the cut-off date set as April 17, 2026.
These proposals signal significant capital-raising and expansion plans. The increase in authorised capital and the USD 100 million fund-raising authorisation suggest the company is preparing for a possible equity dilution or overseas debt issuance, which could weigh on existing shareholders. Higher FPI/NRI limits indicate the company is actively seeking foreign capital, while the tripled borrowing ceiling (to Rs. 1,500 Crore) implies aggressive growth or capex plans that could increase financial leverage and interest obligations. Shareholders should review these resolutions carefully before voting.
