Tirupati Forge shareholders have approved a preferential issue of 37,00,000 convertible warrants aggregating ₹21,46,00,000, signaling a strategic capital raise led by promoter group entities. The Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on July 31, 2026, saw the passage of a special resolution allowing the company to issue these warrants at a price of ₹58 each, comprising a face value of ₹2 and a premium of ₹56. This approval enables the promoters to inject capital while deferring the full equity conversion cost, as only 25% of the issue price is payable at subscription, with the balance due upon exercise within 18 months.
The voting process was scrutinized by Piyush Jethva, Practising Company Secretary, pursuant to Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014. The EGM was conducted through Video Conferencing/Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM) in compliance with regulatory guidelines. Remote e-voting was facilitated by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) from July 28, 2026, to July 30, 2026. As of the record date on July 24, 2026, the company had 58,680 equity shareholders.
Voting Results
The resolutions received substantial support from both promoter and public shareholders. The ordinary resolution to increase authorized capital was passed unanimously, with no votes cast against it. The special resolution for the warrant issue saw minimal dissent, with only one vote recorded against the proposal from a non-institutional public shareholder.
| Resolution | Type | Votes For | Votes Against | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase in Authorized Capital | Ordinary | 63,610,551 | 0 | Passed |
| Issue of Convertible Warrants | Special | 63,610,550 | 1 | Passed |
Promoter shareholders accounted for the majority of the voting power, casting 58,950,757 votes in favor of both resolutions via remote e-voting. Public non-institutional shareholders contributed approximately 46.59 lakh votes in favor. No invalid votes were recorded for either resolution.
Capital Structure Changes
Alongside the warrant issue, shareholders approved an increase in the company’s authorized share capital from ₹26,50,00,000 to ₹27,50,00,000. This adjustment increases the number of authorized equity shares from 13,25,00,000 to 13,75,00,000, each with a face value of ₹2. The additional headroom supports future equity issuances resulting from the exercise of the newly approved warrants.

The convertible warrants are being allotted on a preferential basis to three promoter group entities. Hiteshkumar Gordhanbhai Thummar will receive 9,25,000 warrants, while Bhargvi Manojbhai Thummar and Chetna Mukeshbhai Thumar will each receive 13,87,500 warrants. Each warrant is convertible into one fully paid-up equity share.
