The board approved raising funds up to USD 100 million (or its rupee equivalent) through permitted instruments such as FCCB, ECB, convertible bonds, debentures, warrants, equity-linked securities, or preferential issues, in one or more tranches. The authorised share capital will be increased from Rs. 150 Crore to Rs. 200 Crore to accommodate potential equity issuances, subject to shareholder approval. The board also approved a major distillery capacity expansion of 85 KLDP on top of the existing 65 KLDP (current utilisation at 96%), to be completed in 18 months at an investment of Rs. 127.50 Crore, funded through the proposed FCCB route. The expansion is aimed at capturing rising ethanol demand supported by government policies.
This is a growth-oriented announcement with significant capex planned for the distillery business, but shareholders should note possible equity dilution risk since the fund raise may include equity-linked instruments like warrants or convertible securities. The 130% jump in distillery capacity and strong 96% utilisation suggest management confidence in ethanol demand, which could positively impact future revenues if executed on time.
