The full read
June 24 is the date. Manoj Jewellers' board will meet to consider a rights issue or other equity instruments, just after the Chennai-based jeweller posted a 91% revenue surge in FY26. For a company with a market cap of ₹36 crore and debt/equity of 1.29, an equity raise is material — it can fund further expansion but comes with dilution. The appointment of Sunil Shantilal as CFO alongside suggests management is scaling up as well. A nano-cap growing fast needs capital; shareholders must decide whether to follow or get diluted.
