How money raised was used
Reported for the quarter to Jun 2026. A preferential issue sells new shares to chosen investors rather than to the public. A warrant or partly paid issue plans the whole issue while the money comes in over time, so the amount set aside can be more than raised so far.
| Raised | Amount raised | For | Set aside | Spent | Spent elsewhere | Reason and comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preferential IssuesSep 2025 | 18.80 | Strategic Investment | 14.10 | 3.00 | No | Auditors: The utilization of funds in the approved ratio for general corporate purpose is done on the total issue size of the allotment i.e INR 1879.68 Lakhs out of which Amount Received is INR 617.28 Lakhs. |
| Preferential IssuesSep 2025 | 18.80 | General Corporate Purpose | 4.70 | 3.17 | No | Auditors: The utilization of funds in the approved ratio for general corporate purpose is done on the total issue size of the allotment i.e INR 1879.68 Lakhs out of which Amount Received is INR 617.28 Lakhs. |
