Candour Techtex Limited will seek shareholder approval to alter its object clause and reallocate unutilized proceeds from a preferential issue at an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. The proposed amendments aim to diversify business activities into naval and defense shipbuilding, as well as aerospace engineering and aviation products, addressing challenges in its traditional textile business such as higher tariffs and supply chain disruptions. The company also seeks approval to vary the utilization of ₹102.60 crore in unutilized funds raised through the preferential allotment of equity shares and warrants.
The Board of Directors approved the proposal on June 18, 2026, to amend the Memorandum of Association to facilitate entry into high-growth sectors. The proposed insertion of new clauses will enable the company to undertake business related to naval vessels, warships, and aerospace engineering products. M/s. S P K G & Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants, has been appointed as the Scrutinizer to scrutinize the remote e-voting process and voting at the EGM.
Shareholders will vote on the reallocation of funds raised through a preferential issue. The issue, originally approved to raise ₹198.23 crore, was undersubscribed, with the company actually raising ₹165.34 crore through the allotment of 52,54,700 equity shares and 79,72,600 convertible warrants at ₹125 per share. The revised deployment plan proposes withdrawing the allocation of ₹15.00 crore for investments in subsidiaries and strategic acquisitions, reducing the general corporate purpose allocation by ₹5.00 crore, and increasing the working capital allocation by ₹15.00 crore.
