Hindustan Foods Limited has submitted the Monitoring Agency Report from CARE Ratings Limited for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, tracking the use of funds from a preferential issue of 72,71,081 convertible warrants worth Rs. 399.99 crore. As of March 31, 2025, the company has received Rs. 295 crore and utilized Rs. 221.51 crore across stated objects — including Rs. 78.64 crore for inorganic growth (notably for acquiring a manufacturing facility from MMG Enterprises via a Business Transfer Agreement dated January 3, 2025), Rs. 66.15 crore for greenfield projects, Rs. 41.70 crore for brownfield projects, and Rs. 35.02 crore for general corporate purposes. The remaining Rs. 73.49 crore is parked in 17 fixed deposits with HDFC Bank earning 7.40% interest, and Rs. 101.50 crore is yet to be received from warrant holders. The Monitoring Agency confirmed no deviation from the stated objects.
The report is largely procedural and confirms funds are being deployed as planned, but it flags a risk that the current market price is below the warrant exercise price, which could lead to warrant holders letting their warrants lapse — potentially leaving Rs. 101.50 crore uncollected and affecting the viability of the company's expansion plans. Shareholders should watch for any update on warrant conversion and its impact on the company's inorganic growth and capex timelines.
