- Board approves warrant issue to MD Sudhir Avasthi and President Deepankar Barat.
- Each gets 11 lakh warrants, convertible at ₹30 within 18 months, for ₹6.6 cr total.
- Shareholder approval needed at EGM on July 27, 2026.
Why this matters
The raise is material for a nano-cap dairy firm with recent auditor-flagged profits and liquidity constraints, but the absence of a stated use of proceeds and the insider-allottee structure raise governance questions. Dilution of nearly 8% could pressure equity.
What we're watching
- Use of proceeds disclosure or lack thereof at EGM.
- Shareholder vote outcome and any opposition.
- Whether this signals further capital needs given negative net profit in latest quarter.
The full read
Milkfood's board has approved a ₹6.60 cr preferential warrant issue to its managing director and president, diluting existing shareholders by 7.9%. The move comes after auditor-flagged accounting errors and an asset-sale-driven profit; the company hasn't said what it will do with the money. For a nano-cap with ₹182 cr market cap and a ₹8 cr net loss in the latest quarter, the insider-allottee structure and lack of clarity are red flags. Shareholders vote on July 27.
