To meet its funding needs for working capital (Rs. 31.79 cr.), and general corporate purpose (Rs. 9.00 cr.), CIL is offering a Rights issue (RI) in the ratio of 8 shares for every 25 shares held by the eligible stakeholders as of the record date of November 14, 2022. The company mulls raising Rs. 41.58 cr. post entire process for this RI is over for the issuance of 20792258 equity shares of Rs. 2 each at a fixed price of Rs. 20 per share. The issue opens for subscription on November 23, 2022, and will close on December 02, 2022. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. CIL is spending Rs. 0.79 cr. for this RI process.

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 532456 (FV Rs. 2).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 23.15 on November 11, 2022, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 22.85 on November 14, 2022. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 25.25 / Rs. 22.25. It last closed at Rs. 22.60 on November 18, 2022. The scrip has posted the last 52 weeks' high/low of Rs. 45.65 / Rs. 19.68. This indicates that the counter is well-operated and kept above the RI pricing to lure investors.  Promoters' holding has declined from 58.33% in March 2022 quarter to 48.60% in September 2022 quarter. This raises a concern.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The counter is well managed for the last few months and is quoting above the RI pricing. Declining of promoters holding raises concern. Cash surplus investors may consider an investment with long-term perspectives.
