Swan Defence and Heavy Industries responded to NSE's query about a Moneycontrol article stating the company plans to raise Rs 750 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The company confirmed its Board constituted a committee on April 23, 2025 to explore options for achieving the minimum public shareholding (MPS) compliance. The committee is evaluating various modes including QIP, rights issue, FPO, or a combination. However, the company clarified that no final decision has been made on the mode, size, valuation, or quantum of any potential issuance. Discussions with merchant bankers are ongoing but nothing has been finalized.
The company labelled the news article as speculative and stated there is no material impact on operations or financials at this stage. For shareholders, this means a potential equity dilution from a capital raise remains uncertain — if it happens, it could dilute existing holdings, but the company has not committed to any specific plan or timeline yet.
