The fundraising may be undertaken through a combination of equity shares, preferential allotments, Qualified Institutional Placements (QIPs), convertible debentures, warrants, Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) or other permitted instruments, subject to the receipt of necessary statutory and regulatory approvals.

The company said the proposed capital infusion will primarily be utilised to expand its fleet of heavy earthmoving and Construction equipment, strengthen its infrastructure leasing platform, and support the execution of long-term asset-backed rental contracts across India's infrastructure sector.

Record Date for Stock Split and Bonus Issue

The company has fixed July 24, 2026, as the record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for two corporate actions approved earlier by the Board.

Under the approved 1:5 stock split, every e equity share of face value Rs 10 will be subdivided into five equity shares of face value Rs 2 each. In addition, shareholders will receive one bonus equity share of face value Rs 2 for every two equity shares held following the stock split.

Focus on Equipment Leasing Business

The company operates an asset-heavy leasing model that provides rental solutions for heavy earthmoving machinery, civil construction equipment and structural fabrication assets, enabling customers to reduce capital expenditure while improving project execution efficiency.
