CARE Ratings, the monitoring agency for HCC's Rs. 600 crore QIP (Qualified Institutional Placement) issue, has submitted its report for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Of the total proceeds, Rs. 400 crore has been utilised so far — Rs. 190 crore for repayment/prepayment of borrowings, Rs. 150 crore for augmenting working capital (fully spent in FY25), Rs. 26.88 crore for General Corporate Purposes (slightly higher than the original Rs. 22.86 crore estimate because actual issue expenses came in lower at Rs. 33.12 crore versus the estimated Rs. 37.14 crore), and Rs. 33.12 crore for issue expenses. The remaining Rs. 200 crore is parked in four ICICI Bank fixed deposits earning 5.25% interest, maturing on August 28, 2025. There is no deviation from the stated objects of the issue, though repayment of borrowings is still ongoing and the General Corporate Purposes deployment saw a 3-month delay from the original FY25 timeline.
This is a routine compliance filing confirming that the QIP funds are being used broadly as promised to investors, with no misuse or major diversion. The deployment of unutilised funds in bank fixed deposits provides some interim safety, and the small savings on issue expenses have been redirected to general corporate use in line with disclosure. No negative price catalyst expected from this filing.
