Reliance Infrastructure plans fundraising initiative through equity, debt instruments

Time of India12-07-2025
Reliance Infrastructure
Limited has announced plans to raise long-term capital through multiple financial instruments, signaling a significant
fundraising initiative
as the company seeks to strengthen its financial position and fuel growth plans.
The Mumbai-based infrastructure company has called a Board of Directors meeting for Wednesday, July 16, 2025, to deliberate on a comprehensive capital raising strategy. According to the filing, the meeting will "consider and approve raising of long term resources by issue of
equity shares
/ equity linked securities, by way of
qualified institutional placement
or any other method and/or
Non-Convertible Debentures
(NCDs), in one or more tranches/series, as may be permissible under applicable laws."
The company is exploring several
fundraising
mechanisms including direct equity share issuance, equity-linked securities through qualified institutional placement methods, and Non-Convertible Debentures structured across multiple tranches and series. The filing indicates that the board will also be "seeking members' and other approval(s), as the Board may deem appropriate," suggesting that depending on the scale and nature of the fundraising, shareholder approval through special resolutions may be required.
The choice of qualified institutional placement as one of the methods suggests the company is targeting institutional investors, which typically indicates confidence in the company's fundamentals and growth prospects.
The timing of this announcement is significant as it comes ahead of the Q1 FY2026 financial results, which will provide investors with insights into the company's current financial performance and justify the need for additional capital.
The company's stock performance and investor response will likely depend on the clarity and attractiveness of the fundraising terms once announced.
Earlier in the week, the company announced that its credit rating has been upgraded by three notches by India Ratings and Research which has assigned it 'IND B/Stable/IND A4' rating from an earlier rating of 'IND D'.
Reliance Infra shares have been in top form for the last one year, jumping by 97% during this period. In this year so far its returns have been to the tune of 18%, significantly higher than the headline indices Nifty and Sensex. Both Nifty and Sensex have seen an uptick of slightly over 3%.

Home buyers 'fraud': ED secures custody of 2 Ramprastha Group directors

Gurugram, The Directorate of Enforcement on Wednesday secured two-day custody of Sandeep Yadav and Arvind Walia, promoters of Haryana-based realty company Ramprastha Group, in connection with a money laundering probe linked to an alleged ₹1,100 crore fraud with homebuyers. Home buyers 'fraud': ED secures custody of 2 Ramprastha Group directors The two were arrested on Monday after the Gurugram zonal office of the federal probe agency raided three premises in Delhi and Gurugram, including those of the directors, early morning on that day. Yadav and Walia are directors and majority shareholders in Ramprastha Promoters and Developers Pvt Ltd . They were taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act . The federal probe agency produced the two in the court of an additional session judge, following which the ED secured their custody. The agency conducted a survey against the group in September 2024. It is alleged that the RPDPL collected about ₹1,100 crore from more than 2,000 homebuyers for various housing schemes like Project Edge, Project Skyz, Project Rise and Ramprastha City in various sectors of Gurugram during 2008-11. The possession of the flats or plots is yet to be given, even after 15-20 years, the sources said. Earlier this month, the agency attached colonies and plots spread across more than 1,900 acres and worth over ₹681.54 crore of the group in Gurugram as part of this investigation. The money laundering case stems from multiple FIRs filed by the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi and Haryana Police based on complaints of numerous homebuyers against RPDPL and its promoters, like Yadav, Walia and Balwant Chaudhary for their "failure" to deliver promised flats and plots within the promised timeframes, the ED had said in a statement. The company and its promoters "diverted" the funds sources from buyers of these projects to its group companies as advances for the purchase of land parcels, instead of using them for completion of promised homes, it had said.

PDD Analysts See HK Listing as More Likely After Auditor Change

(Bloomberg) -- PDD Holdings Inc.'s move to switch to a Hong Kong-based auditor may indicate the Chinese e-commerce firm is preparing to apply for a second listing there, according to two analysts. The parent company of budget shopping app Temu said in a filing on Wednesday that it has tapped Hong Kong-based auditors of Ernst & Young for a review of its financial statements this year. The firm previously worked with Beijing-based Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP. Such a shift likely suggests that PDD is pursuing a listing in Hong Kong over coming months, according to Citigroup analyst Alicia Yap. 'If this proves to be true, we believe this could be viewed as a positive catalyst for the share price,' she said. PDD did not immediately reply to an emailed request for comment outside of office hours. PDD's American depositary receipts rose as much as 5.6% to the highest in two months. The firm is among the relatively few US-listed Chinese names that have yet to list in Hong Kong, a group that also includes retailer Vipshop Holdings Ltd. and tutoring firm TAL Education Group. Companies like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Inc. and Baidu Inc. have already secured a second listing in Hong Kong amid persistent concerns that they could get booted off American exchanges. In April, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said all options are 'on the table' when asked about potential delistings of Chinese companies. A second listing would potentially enable investors of Chinese firms to convert ADRs to Hong Kong shares in the event of a US delisting. Upgrading the Hong Kong listing to a primary status — like what Alibaba did last year — will also allow mainland buyers to tap into the stock. Felix Wang, an analyst at Hedgeye Risk Management, noted that companies preparing to list in Hong Kong often engage with local auditors to comply with regulatory requirements. That was the case for both Alibaba and when they sought Hong Kong listings, he said. 'One of the frustrations on PDD in the past is the company not interested in issuing a secondary IPO' to expand its investor base, Wang said in a note. 'Is PDD changing its mind on listing in HK? It can only help with investor sentiment.' More stories like this are available on

EV charging stns must operate by Sept-end: Khatri

Nashik: Nashik municipal commissioner Manisha Khatri has set a deadline of Sept-end for civic officials to operate the remaining 13 EV charging stations in the city. NMC proposed 20 EV charging stations at Rs 10 crore through the funds received under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). NMC deployed a Delhi-based private firm to set up the charging stations. The deadline to set up all the EV charging stations was March-end this year, but the civic body could operate seven EV charging stations so far. Hence, the commissioner has instructed civic officials to operate the remaining charging stations. NMC officials said "Work for 10 EV charging stations has completed. We will soon complete the work for the other three stations. All stations should operate by mid-Sept," said an NMC official. These seven locations, where EV charging stations were made operational, include Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, Pramod Mahajan Garden on Gangapur Road, open space of the civic body on Ambad Link Road, Satpur Fire Station, Krishi Nagar Jogging Track in Nashik West Division, Satpur Divisional Office premises, and near Mahatma Nagar Cricket Ground. Each EV charging station has the capacity to charge two four-wheelers and six two-wheelers at a time, said a senior NMC official.
