Subam Papers revised its project cost to ₹104.37 crore from ₹107.04 crore following an under-subscription in its preferential issue. The company raised ₹74.36 crore against the targeted ₹107.04 crore, resulting in a shortfall that necessitated a reduction in the allocation for General Corporate Purposes. The funds were initially intended for debt repayment, investment in a subsidiary, and general corporate purposes.
The Board of Directors had previously approved the fund raise on November 14, 2025, and shareholders endorsed the plan at an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting on December 10, 2025. The preferential issue comprised 26,32,800 Convertible Warrants and 44,09,600 Equity Shares, both priced at ₹152.00 each. The warrants were allocated to the Promoters and Promoter Group, while the equity shares were offered to Non-Promoter (Public) category investors.
Fund Utilisation and Shortfall
The company received ₹64.36 crore against the proposed ₹67.02 crore from the preferential issue of Equity Shares due to under-subscription. Additionally, ₹10.00 crore was received against Convertible Warrants, representing 25% of the total warrant issue proceeds. The total proceeds of ₹74.36 crore fell short of the targeted ₹107.04 crore, leading to a ₹2.66 crore deficit in the equity issue proceeds.
In response, the Board of Directors, at a meeting on May 26, 2026, revised the project cost and fund utilisation plan. The allocation for General Corporate Purposes was reduced from ₹4.03 crore to ₹1.36 crore. The overall project cost was adjusted downward from ₹107.04 crore to ₹104.37 crore to align with the actual funds raised.
Revised Fund Allocation
The revised utilisation of the proceeds is as follows:
| Purpose | Allocation (₹ Crore) |
|---|---|
| Repayment of Debts | 73.00 |
| Investment in Subsidiary | 30.01 |
| General Corporate Purposes | 1.36 |
| Total | 104.37 |
The investment in the wholly-owned subsidiary, Subam Paper and Boards Private Limited, is intended for setting up a Corrugated Box Unit. The company informed the BSE Limited of the revision on May 27, 2026.
