Vardhman Polytex's board approved raising up to ₹35 crore via listed, secured, rated Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) on private placement, carrying a steep 18% annual coupon with monthly interest payments and a 5-year tenure, to be listed on BSE. Separately, it cleared a preferential issue of up to ₹25 crore in unlisted Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs) at 18% per annum compounded annually, to be allotted to Special Situation India Fund, convertible into equity within 6–15 months or redeemed as a bullet payment at 18 months. The board also gave in-principle approval to sell the land at its Ludhiana unit (which contributed 33.39% of revenue, or ₹95.14 crore, and whose operations were closed earlier) to repay lender liabilities and support growth, subject to shareholder approval via postal ballot. An EGM has been fixed for April 16, 2026 to seek shareholder approvals for the OCD preferential issue and AOA amendment (to allow debenture trustees to appoint a board observer). The company has a negative net worth of ₹227.39 crore as per March 2025 audited results.
Shareholders should brace for possible equity dilution from the OCD conversion and note the very high 18% borrowing cost, which signals financial stress given the negative net worth. The Ludhiana land monetisation is a key lifeline to cut debt, but losing a unit that generated one-third of revenue is a significant operational shift.
