Sigachi Industries Limited has submitted its monitoring agency report for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, revealing significant challenges in the execution of its fundraising objectives. The comprehensive report, prepared by CARE Ratings Limited as the monitoring agency, provides detailed insights into the utilization of proceeds from the company's convertible share warrants issue.
Issue Overview and Fund Shortfall
The monitoring agency report covers the convertible share warrants issue worth Rs. 286.45 crore, conducted through private placement between July 27, 2023, and August 10, 2023. However, a significant shortfall has emerged, with Rs. 68.63 crore not received from warrant holders within the stipulated timeline.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Issue Size | Rs. 286.45 crore |
| Amount Raised Till December 31, 2025 | Rs. 217.82 crore |
| Shortfall | Rs. 68.63 crore |
| Issue Type | Private Placement - Convertible Share Warrants |
Fund Utilization Progress
Despite the shortfall, the company has achieved complete utilization of the funds received across most objectives. The monitoring agency confirmed that Rs. 217.82 crore has been fully utilized by Q3FY26 across various strategic initiatives.
| Objective | Proposed Amount (Rs. Crore) | Amount Raised (Rs. Crore) | Utilization Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| API Manufacturing Facility Acquisition/Expansion | 160.00 | 217.82 | Fully Utilized |
| Dahej and Jhagadia Facility Upgradation | 50.00 | 50.00 | Fully Utilized |
| Hyderabad Facility Upgradation | 21.45 | 21.45 | Fully Utilized |
| Working Capital | 30.00 | 30.00 | Fully Utilized |
| General Corporate Purposes | 25.00 | 25.00 | Fully Utilized |
Timeline Deviations and Compliance Issues
The report identifies minor timeline deviations in fund utilization. While proceeds were originally required to be utilized by September 2025, an unutilized balance of Rs. 0.43 crore was subsequently utilized in Q3FY26 by November 19, 2025, representing a 19-day delay. Notably, the company did not obtain board approval for this timeline extension.
Additionally, the monitoring agency noted that funds of Rs. 16.75 crore transferred from the monitoring agency account to inter-corporate deposits were not received back within the stipulated period. However, internal accruals were utilized to meet the issue objectives.
Impact of Fire Incident
A major fire incident at the Hyderabad facility in Q1FY26 has significantly impacted the company's expansion plans. The monitoring agency specifically noted that this unfavorable event is expected to adversely affect planned capital expenditure and expansion initiatives, which are now unlikely to progress as originally envisaged.
Promoter Investment Shortfall
The report reveals that promoters have not fully met their investment commitments. Of the envisaged promoter investment of Rs. 135.72 crore, 41% of the funds (Rs. 56.77 crore) have not been infused by the promoters, representing a significant shortfall in the planned financing structure.
Regulatory Compliance
The monitoring agency confirmed that all government and statutory approvals related to existing plants in Gujarat are in place. However, Sigachi Industries may require fresh approvals for the manufacturing plant to be reconstructed in Hyderabad following the fire incident.
The report concludes that while there are no material deviations in terms of fund deployment objectives, the combination of warrant holder payment delays, fire incident impact, and promoter investment shortfall may materially affect investor decision-making going forward.
