Suraj Estate Developers Limited has confirmed that there has been no deviation in the utilization of funds raised through its preferential issue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company, which initially targeted to raise Rs 500.00 crore, successfully raised Rs 343.39 crore on October 15 and 18, 2024.

Fund Allocation and Utilization

The funds raised are being utilized for three main purposes:

Warrant Issue

As part of the preferential issue, the company also issued 13,30,000 convertible warrants at Rs 750.00 each, raising Rs 99.75 crore. However, only 50% of the total warrant amount (Rs 49.88 crore) has been received upfront, with the balance to be collected upon conversion.

Monitoring Agency

Care Rating Limited is serving as the monitoring agency for the fund utilization. According to their report, there has been no utilization of issue proceeds towards the objects during the quarter under reporting.

Market Performance

The share price of Suraj Estate Developers has seen a significant decline since the preferential issue. As of September 30, 2025, the closing stock price was Rs 278.05, which is lower than the warrant's exercise price of Rs 750.00 and the balance call value of Rs 375.00 per share. This decline might affect the viability of the objects and could potentially impact future fund-raising efforts.

Management Statement

The company's management has confirmed that there has been no deviation reported in the uses of proceeds received by the Company against the issue and allotment of equity shares and warrants on a preferential basis from the objects stated in the explanatory statement to the notice for the General meeting held on September 14, 2024.

Investors should note that while the fund utilization is on track, the significant decline in share price may have implications for the company's future capital-raising activities and the conversion of outstanding warrants.
