GP Petroleums Limited (GPPL) has announced that its Board has approved a strategic fundraise of up to ₹130 Crores through the issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) and Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs). The company plans to utilize these funds to accelerate its ongoing business expansion and meet its working capital requirements.

The OCD issuance is contingent upon obtaining necessary statutory approvals, including shareholder consent via postal ballot.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Dilip Vaswani, Non-Executive Director, GP Petroleums Ltd., stated, "The proposed financing will provide us with the financial agility to accelerate our growth plans, both organic and inorganic. It also reflects the confidence in our strategic vision to strengthen our market position in the hydrocarbon space while giving us the financial foundation towards unlocking long term value for our stakeholders."
The NCDs and OCDs will carry a coupon rate of 13% per annum, compounded monthly and paid quarterly. An additional 1.5% coupon will be paid on the deemed date of allotment. Equity shares arising from the conversion of OCDs are proposed to be listed on BSE and NSE.
