The issue opens for subscription on December 09, 2022, and will close on December 15, 2022.

The issue is self-managed by the company while Beetal Financial & Computer Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE.  RIL is spending Rs. 0.16 cr. for this RI process. 

Post issue, RIL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 8.86 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 19.93 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 21.92 cr.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company paid a dividend of 10% in May 2000 and thereafter it skipped following poor performance. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post-listing of RIs, based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 530449 (FV Rs. 10).
The scrip last closed at Rs. 47.65 on cum-right basis as of November 10, 2022, and opened at Rs. 28.65 on an ex-right basis on November 11, 2022. Since then it has posted a high/low of Rs. 31.55 / Rs. 27.00. The scrip last closed at Rs. 26.60 as of December 06, 2022. It has marked the last 52 weeks' high/low of Rs. 31.55/12.20.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The issue is reasonably priced and the segment is poised for bright prospects with a major thrust on reforms in agriculture. Investors may consider an investment with a medium to long-term perspective.
