HFCL's board has approved issuing up to 7.5 crore warrants convertible into equity shares to the Promoter/Promoter Group at ₹74 per share, aggregating to approximately ₹555 crore. The warrants will be allotted to NextWave Communications Private Limited (3.75 crore warrants) and Satellite Finance Private Limited (3.75 crore warrants). The issue price of ₹74 is stated to be above the SEBI-determined floor price under Regulation 164 of the ICDR Regulations. Each warrant requires a 25% upfront payment, with the balance 75% payable at the time of conversion within 18 months. The funds will be used for backward integration into preform manufacturing, scaling the defence business, and augmenting long-term working capital. Post full conversion, promoter group shareholding will rise from 12.79% to 16.87%. Shareholders' approval will be sought at an EGM scheduled for April 24, 2026, and CARE Ratings has been appointed as monitoring agency.
This signals strong promoter confidence in HFCL's growth prospects and provides growth capital without adding debt. However, the preferential allotment to promoters will dilute public shareholders' stake and remains subject to EGM approval.
