The report, prepared by CRISIL Ratings Limited as the appointed Monitoring Agency, covers the utilisation of proceeds from the company's Rights Issue, in compliance with Regulation 32(6) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 read with Regulation 82(2) of SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018. The report was placed before and considered by the Audit Committee in its meeting held on May 15, 2026.
Rights Issue Overview
The company conducted a Rights Issue of equity shares during April 15, 2025 to April 25, 2025, proposing to raise Rs 799.86 crore through the issuance of 6,10,58,392 partly paid-up equity shares at Rs 131 per share. The issue proceeds are earmarked for two primary objects: augmenting the capital base and meeting issue expenses. The following table summarises the issue proceeds structure:
| Particulars: | Amount (Rs. crores) |
|---|---|
| Gross Proceeds of the Fresh Issue: | 799.86 |
| Less: Issue Expenses: | 16.52 |
| Net Proceeds: | 783.34 |
The company had initially received application money of Rs 399.93 crore (being 50% of the issue price) on allotment of partly paid-up equity shares. Subsequently, the Board approved the First and Final Call of Rs 65.50 per share, payable between November 27, 2025 and December 11, 2025, pursuant to which Rs 395.30 crore was received as call money. The total amount received under the Rights Issue stood at Rs 795.23 crore as at December 31, 2025. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an additional Rs 2.06 crore was received from a subsequent call, bringing the total amount received to Rs 797.29 crore as of March 31, 2026. The remaining balance of Rs 2.57 crore is expected to be recovered through subsequent reminder calls on or before March 31, 2027.
Utilisation of Issue Proceeds
The Monitoring Agency confirmed no deviation from the objects stated in the Offer Document dated March 29, 2025. The report details the progress in utilisation of proceeds across the two stated objects as of the quarter ended March 31, 2026:
| Item Head: | Amount as per Offer Document (Rs in crore) | Utilised at Beginning of Quarter (Rs in crore) | Utilised During Quarter (Rs in crore) | Utilised at End of Quarter (Rs in crore) | Unutilised Amount (Rs in crore) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Augmenting the capital base: | 783.34 | 382.41 | Nil | 382.41 | 400.93 |
| Issue expenses: | 16.52 | Nil | 14.01 | 14.01 | 2.51 |
| Total: | 799.86 | 382.41 | 14.01 | 396.42 | 403.44 |
No utilisation towards augmenting the capital base was recorded during the reported quarter. The Rs 14.01 crore utilised under issue expenses during the quarter represents a reimbursement from issue proceeds for issue-related expenses—comprising consultancy fees, professional fees, and other service-related expenses—that were originally paid by the company from its internal accruals prior to receipt of the issue proceeds. CRISIL Ratings relied upon the statutory auditor's certificate and management undertaking confirming that the utilisation of internal accruals was in accordance with the offer document.
Deployment of Unutilised Proceeds
As at the end of the quarter, the total unutilised proceeds of Rs 400.87 crore were deployed across various bank accounts and fixed deposits. The deployment details are as follows:
| Instrument & Entity: | Amount Invested (Rs in crore) | Return on Investment (%) | Market Value at Quarter End (Rs in crore) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axis Bank Rights Issue-Monitoring Account: | 3.51 | NA | 3.51 |
| Axis Bank Rights Issue-Allotment Account: | 2.06 | NA | 2.06 |
