Marine Electricals (India) Limited has submitted the ICRA Monitoring Agency Report on use of proceeds from its preferential issue (warrants and equity shares) for Q4 FY2025. The original issue size of ₹213.76 crore was undersubscribed and revised to ₹149.22 crore, of which only ₹118.47 crore has been received so far as just 25% has been called on the warrants. Net proceeds available stand at ₹115.58 crore after adjusting ₹2.89 crore of issue expenses. During Q4 FY25, the company deployed ₹20 crore, taking cumulative utilization to ₹38.47 crore out of ₹149.22 crore. The funds are earmarked for long-term working capital (₹77.29 cr), secured loan repayment (₹12.47 cr), strategic acquisitions (₹20 cr), and general corporate purposes (₹36.57 cr). Unutilized funds of ₹80 crore are parked in fixed deposits with IndusInd Bank and Yes Bank, earning 7.85% to 8.02% interest. ICRA has confirmed no material deviation from stated objects and all timelines are on schedule.
Reassuring disclosure for shareholders — no deviation from stated use of funds and deployment is on schedule. However, investors should note the preferential issue was undersubscribed and only about a third of proceeds have been deployed so far, with strategic acquisitions yet to begin. This may signal a slower growth or M&A pipeline than originally planned.
