Avantel Limited: Monitoring Agency Report for Q4FY26 Confirms Appropriate Utilization of Rights Issue Funds
Avantel Limited's Monitoring Agency Report for Q4FY26 confirms appropriate utilization of its ₹80.91 crore Rights Issue proceeds. As of March 31, 2026, ₹76.48 crore has been utilized. Funds are being deployed for manufacturing facility capex and GSaaS infrastructure, with a strategic redirection of GSaaS funds due to regulatory delays. The company expects full utilization by FY2026-27.
The announcement pertains to the utilization of funds from a past Rights Issue and regulatory compliance. While positive in confirming fund utilization, it doesn't introduce new business or financial performance metrics that would significantly alter the company's valuation in the short term.
The report confirms appropriate utilization of funds raised through the Rights Issue, indicating good corporate governance and adherence to stated objectives, despite minor timeline deviations which are being managed.
Avantel Limited has submitted its Monitoring Agency Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The report, issued by CARE Ratings Limited, confirms that the proceeds from the Rights Issue of equity shares, made vide its Letter of Offer dated May 5, 2025, have been utilized appropriately for the objects mentioned in the offer document.
The total Rights Issue size was ₹80.91 crore. As of March 31, 2026, the total utilized amount was ₹76.48 crore, with ₹4.43 crore remaining unutilized, primarily held in the monitoring account.
Key utilization details include: * Funding Capital Expenditure for a new manufacturing facility for Electronics, Antennas & Connectors (Commercial, Defence & Aerospace applications): ₹53.85 crore was the original cost. As of March 31, 2026, ₹52.33 crore was utilized, with ₹1.52 crore utilized during the quarter. The Board noted that utilization is progressing in accordance with the implementation schedule, with pending final settlement of vendor invoices and project milestones.
* Funding Capital Expenditure for GSaaS (Ground Station as a Service) infrastructure: ₹6.17 crore was the original cost. As of March 31, 2026, ₹3.26 crore was utilized, with ₹2.91 crore unutilized. The Board decided to redirect funds allocated for GSaaS antenna procurement towards capital procurement of equipment and materials for GSaaS antenna manufacturing to execute an order from NSIL, due to regulatory uncertainty from the Department of Telecommunications regarding private sector participation in GSaaS operations. This redirection is considered within the overall framework of the Rights Issue objectives.
* General Corporate Purpose: ₹19.94 crore was fully utilized. * Issue related expenses: ₹0.95 crore was fully utilized.
The report also noted a deviation in the timelines for spending on objects 1 & 2, for which board approval for the deviation was not in place. However, the company stated that the utilization is progressing in accordance with the implementation schedule for object 1, and for object 2, the redirection of funds ensures productive utilization. The completion date for the manufacturing facility and GSaaS infrastructure was March 31, 2026, and both are ongoing, with the unutilized funds to be deployed in FY2026-27.
