CARE Ratings filed its Monitoring Agency report on the use of proceeds from Unimech's ₹250 crore IPO (Fresh Issue of 31,84,713 equity shares) which closed in December 2024. Through a postal ballot (notice Nov 17, 2025; outcome Dec 19, 2025), shareholders approved reallocating ₹61.287 crore from original capex, subsidiary investment, and debt repayment objects to a newly introduced object covering Mergers & Acquisitions, Joint Ventures, and Greenfield Projects. Of the total ₹250 crore, ₹153.30 crore has been utilized so far, with ₹96.70 crore still unutilized and largely parked in fixed deposits earning 5.85%–7.77%. Capital expenditure objects are fully utilized; the working capital and M&A objects remain partly or fully untapped with no specific targets identified yet. The MA flagged that cumulative allocation to General Corporate Purposes and the new M&A object exceeds 40% of gross IPO proceeds, which is above the 35% limit under SEBI ICDR Regulation 7(3), though the Board disputes the regulation's applicability to listed entities.
The reallocation signals a strategic shift toward inorganic growth (M&A, JVs, greenfield projects), which could be positive if executed well but introduces execution risk since targets are unidentified. Investors should watch for the SEBI/regulatory angle on the GCP-plus-new-object allocation exceeding 35%, and note that nearly ₹97 crore sitting in FDs may dilute near-term return ratios until deployed.
