GMR Airports seeks Rs 50 bn expansion funds

GMR Airports Infrastructure Ltd announced its intention to raise funds amounting to Rs 50 billion in a board meeting scheduled for August 14. The meeting will also address the release of the company's unaudited financial results for the quarter ending in June. The decision, as per a regulatory filing, involves exploring options to secure the funds in one or more instalments. 

This could be achieved through the issuance of securities, including Qualified Institutions Placement, Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds, or other relevant securities. However, the proposal is contingent upon the endorsement of shareholders and compliance with relevant legal regulations.

GMR Group, renowned for operating major airports like those in Delhi, Hyderabad, and Goa, seeks to leverage these funds for its operations and expansion initiatives. In light of this development, the company's shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange witnessed a marginal increase of over 1%, reaching a closing value of Rs 52.11 apiece. The move to secure substantial funds reflects GMR's strategic approach to fortify its financial position and potentially fuel its growth trajectory.
