Salem Erode Investments Limited has finalized the basis of allotment for its rights issue, which received valid applications amounting to 102.47% of the offered equity shares. The company raised up to ₹2,293.10 lakh by issuing fully paid-up equity shares at a price of ₹20 each.

The issue opened for subscription on September 15, 2026, and closed on October 1, 2026. Out of the total 533 applications received for 1,17,86,899 rights equity shares, 231 applications were rejected due to technical reasons. This left 302 valid applications for 1,17,48,413 rights equity shares, exceeding the total number of shares allotted under the issue.

Allotment details

The Board of Directors approved the allotment of rights equity shares to successful applicants on October 5, 2026. The allotment was finalized in consultation with the Registrar to the Issue and BSE, the designated stock exchange. No rights equity shares have been kept in abeyance.

Subscription analysis

The subscription level indicates strong participation from both existing shareholders and renouncees. Eligible equity shareholders accounted for 73.84% of the valid applications, while renouncees contributed 26.16%. The total value of rights equity shares applied for stood at ₹23,49,68,260, compared to the allotted value of ₹22,93,10,400 (calculated as 1,14,65,520 shares at ₹20).

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a slight divergence between application volume and final allotment. While 302 valid applications sought 1,17,48,413 shares, only 1,14,65,520 shares were allotted. This difference of 2,82,893 shares suggests that some additional bids from renouncees were partially rejected or scaled down during the allotment process, as the total applied shares exceeded the total offered shares by approximately 2.47%. The high number of technical rejections (231 out of 533) also highlights potential procedural hurdles for retail applicants using the ASBA mechanism.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a high concentration of voting power among the promoter group. Promoters accounted for approximately 94.4% of the total votes polled (85,99,140 out of 91,04,244).
