The full read
SBC Exports is swapping ₹99.05 crore of promoter unsecured loans for equity. The board approved issuing 2.75 crore new shares at ₹36 each to Govind Ji Gupta, Deepika Gupta, and SBC Finmart Limited. For a micro-cap, this is a significant capital structure change. The conversion is equal to 5.25% of current market cap and removes a direct interest burden, which could free up cash for its garments and IT support divisions. The company paired the announcement with FY26 results showing net profit grew to ₹25.27 crore. The ₹36 issuance price locks in a valuation floor. The immediate effect is a lighter balance sheet. What changes next is whether that interest saving translates into external credit or reinvestment.
