Mahan Industries raises ₹29.83 cr, nearly 6x its market cap, in control-changing deal
The nano-cap NBFC's board approved preferential allotment of equity and warrants to incoming promoters, triggering an open offer that will shift control.
— 1 earlier story on Mahan Industries Ltd. →What's new
- Board approved preferential issue of 32 lakh equity shares at ₹12 each to incoming promoters, triggering mandatory open offer.
- Also approved 2.16 crore convertible warrants at ₹12 each, raising up to ₹25.98 crore from promoter and non-promoter groups.
- Total fundraise of ₹29.83 crore is nearly six times the company's current market capitalisation of ₹5 crore.
Why this matters
For a ₹5 cr market-cap NBFC, a ₹29.83 cr capital raise is massive — it's selling control at a huge premium to the market price. The new promoters will own 26% of voting capital post-issue, and the open offer lets existing shareholders exit. The scale relative to revenue (₹2 cr in last quarter) signals a complete restructuring of the business.
What we're watching
- Whether the EGM on August 15 approves the issue.
- The open offer price and timeline.
- How the company intends to deploy the capital (NBFC lending).
The full read
Mahan Industries, a nano-cap NBFC worth just ₹5 cr, has announced a capital raise of ₹29.83 cr (nearly 6 times its own market cap) through preferential equity and convertible warrants to incoming promoters. The board's decision triggers a mandatory open offer and a change of control. The scale of this fundraise relative to the company's size is extraordinary: its last quarter's sales were only ₹2 cr. The new promoters are paying ₹12 per share, a price that values the company far above its current market price. For existing shareholders, the open offer provides an exit at a price determined by the offer, while the infusion could enable the company to scale its NBFC operations. The EGM on August 15 is the next key event.
