The full read
Rungta Irrigation, a nano-cap irrigation equipment maker with a ₹98 cr market cap, is the latest small company to signal a capital raise. Its board meets on June 12 to weigh a rights issue. The size and price are unknown. What is known is that the company recently doubled its authorised share capital to ₹40 cr from ₹20 cr, a clear preparatory step. For a company this small, any equity raise is a big deal. The terms will decide how much dilution existing shareholders face. The board will also decide whether to form a dedicated committee to manage the process. Insiders are locked out of trading until 48 hours after the meeting. The details matter more than the announcement itself.
