Kalpataru Projects to Raise Rs.3 Bn via NCDs for Expansion

14 Jun 2024 CW Team

Kalpataru Projects International Ltd (KPIL) has announced plans to raise ?3 billion through the issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs). This strategic move aims to fund the company?s expansion initiatives and strengthen its financial position amid growing market opportunities.

The decision was made during a recent board meeting, where directors approved the fundraising through NCDs on a private placement basis. NCDs are financial instruments that provide investors with fixed interest income and are considered a reliable means for companies to secure long-term capital without diluting equity.

KPIL, a leading infrastructure development company, intends to utilise the funds for various corporate purposes, including debt repayment, working capital requirements, and financing ongoing and new projects. The infusion of capital is expected to enhance the company?s operational capabilities and support its growth trajectory in the infrastructure sector.

The board?s approval of this fundraising initiative reflects KPIL?s proactive approach to leveraging financial instruments for sustaining growth and competitiveness. By raising ?3 billion, the company aims to optimise its capital structure and ensure adequate liquidity to navigate market challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities.

Investors and stakeholders have shown positive sentiments towards the announcement, anticipating strengthened financial health and increased project execution capacity for KPIL. The company?s commitment to strategic financial management and infrastructure development underscores its vision for long-term value creation and industry leadership.

The NCD issuance is set to proceed in the coming weeks, subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions, marking a significant milestone in KPIL?s financial strategy.
