Details of the Fund Raise
The Board of Directors of Bondada Engineering has authorized the company to raise capital totaling up to ₹500 crore. This fund-raising exercise will be conducted through the issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) or other suitable financial instruments, pending approval from the company's shareholders. This strategic move is intended to strengthen the company's financial position as it scales its operations.
To further support large-scale project execution, the board has also proposed enhancing the company's total borrowing powers to ₹10,000 crore under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, providing significant headroom for future debt requirements.
Strategic Migration and Expansion
A major highlight of the board's decision is the approved migration of the company's equity shares from the BSE SME platform to the Main Boards of both BSE and NSE. This transition is a significant milestone intended to increase liquidity and attract a broader base of institutional investors. The company has fixed July 24, 2026, as the record date for determining eligible shareholders for the postal ballot required for this migration.
This shift coincides with the company's robust annual revenue growth of 86.31%, reflecting its readiness to move from the SME segment to the primary equity markets.
