Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities submitted the ICRA Monitoring Agency Report on use of proceeds from its September 2024 Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), which raised Rs. 400 crore (net proceeds Rs. 388.06 crore) by issuing 25.8 lakh equity shares at Rs. 1,550 each. As of March 31, 2025, Rs. 272.59 crore has been utilized while Rs. 127.41 crore remains unutilized. Of the four stated objects, debt repayment of Rs. 155 crore and the Madhya Pradesh project of Rs. 20 crore are fully completed. Investment in subsidiary Bakebest Foods for the Khopoli Expansion (Rs. 130 crore target) is on schedule with Rs. 55.5 crore used so far, and general corporate purposes (Rs. 83 crore target) has deployed Rs. 30.76 crore largely into working capital. The unutilized Rs. 136.97 crore is parked in fixed deposits with Punjab National Bank, earning between 5.25% and 7.90% interest. ICRA confirmed no deviation from the objects of the issue.
This is a routine compliance filing confirming QIP funds are being used as promised to investors. No red flags were raised, and the company is earning healthy interest on idle funds, which is mildly positive for shareholders awaiting full deployment.
