Kiaasa Retail Limited has received board approval to extend the deadline for utilizing unutilized IPO proceeds to March 31, 2027. The company listed on BSE on March 2, 2026, after filing its DRHP in April 2025. During FY 2026, the company deployed INR 23.60 crore against the planned INR 30.76 crore for store expansion. Against the target of opening 41 new stores, only 4 stores were opened. Inventory costs were approximately 18% higher than projected due to supply chain readiness requirements, while fit-out expenses were approximately 96% lower than estimated. The company confirms no change in the objects of the issue and that funds will continue to be used solely for the stated purposes.
The filing indicates slower-than-planned deployment of IPO funds for retail expansion, which is common for recently listed companies. The extension is procedural and confirms the business plan remains intact, though shareholders should monitor execution pace.
