Mumbai: VIP Industries has cleared a proposal to raise up to Rs 500 crore during FY27 to fuel growth and bolster operations. The board approved the plan at its meeting on Friday, September 18. The fundraising, which may take place in multiple tranches, could be completed through various financial instruments and routes, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The company has the option to issue equity shares, debt securities, convertible securities, preference shares, warrants, or depository receipts, as well as explore foreign currency convertible bonds and other eligible instruments. The fundraising might also be executed via a public issue, rights issue, qualified institutions placement, preferential issue, or debt issue.

However, the final structure, pricing, and timing of the issue remain undisclosed. Any premium attached to the securities will be incorporated within the total fundraising ceiling of Rs 500 crore.
