Bharat Forge published a newspaper advertisement for its Postal Ballot Notice on August 13, 2026, in Financial Express (all editions) and Loksatta (Pune edition).

The Board of Directors approved the fundraising plan in its meeting held on August 10, 2026. The proposed issuance may be executed in one or more tranches through multiple instruments, including equity shares, convertible debentures, warrants, Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), American Depository Receipts (ADRs), or Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs). The issuance could take the form of a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), Further Public Offer (FPO), preferential allotment, or rights issue.

Fund Utilization and Strategic Intent

The company stated that the proceeds will be utilized for financing growth plans and subsidiaries. Specific uses include:

• Incurring capital expenditure for greenfield facilities or expanding current manufacturing units
• Funding organic growth opportunities
• Repayment or prepayment of existing debt
• Investment in subsidiaries for capital expenditure and research and development
• General corporate purposes

The Board emphasized that operational excellence and ESG leadership remain strategic priorities. The fundraising is intended to support enhanced volume, cost optimization, and efficient project execution while reducing leverage.
