Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd ( (IN:BALRAMCHIN) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Balrampur Chini Mills’ board has approved a preferential issue of up to 9.32 million equity shares at Rs 483 per share, raising about Rs 450 crore from a mix of promoters, promoter group entities and institutional non-promoter investors. The capital raise, linked to a revision in capex for its new poly lactic acid project, is expected to strengthen the company’s funding for its PLA foray, support expansion into higher-margin green materials and potentially enhance its long-term positioning beyond the cyclical sugar business while modestly diluting existing shareholders’ stakes.
The participation of both promoters and notable institutional investors, including mutual funds and alternative investment funds, underscores confidence in Balrampur Chini Mills’ strategic shift towards bio-based specialty products. This financing structure signals a commitment to scaling the PLA project, which could improve the company’s earnings profile over time and align it with broader sustainability and decarbonisation trends in the chemical and packaging industries.
