Highway Infra Board Approves Share Capital Increase & Promoter Warrants
Highway Infrastructure Limited's Board approved increasing authorized share capital to ₹50 crore and issuing up to 1 crore warrants to promoters for ₹49.82 crore. The company will also acquire a 51% stake in Indore Highway Real Estates for ₹38.99 lakh, making it a subsidiary. An EGM will be called for shareholder approval.
The increase in authorized share capital and the issuance of warrants to promoters are significant corporate actions that could lead to substantial capital infusion and dilution of existing shareholders. The acquisition of a subsidiary also represents a material change in the company's structure and operations.
The company is increasing its authorized share capital and issuing warrants to promoters, which indicates potential for future growth and fundraising. The acquisition of a controlling stake in another company also suggests strategic expansion.
Highway Infrastructure Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on October 14, 2026, has approved a significant increase in the company's authorized share capital. The capital will be raised from ₹40,00,00,000, comprising 8,00,00,000 equity shares of ₹5 each, to ₹50,00,00,000, comprising 10,00,00,000 equity shares of ₹5 each. This increase is subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting.
Furthermore, the Board has sanctioned the issuance of up to 1,00,00,000 warrants to the Promoter and Promoter Group. Each warrant is convertible into one equity share within 18 months at a price of ₹49.82 per warrant, aggregating to ₹49,82,00,000. This will be done via a preferential issue, subject to necessary approvals from members and regulatory authorities. A subscription amount of ₹12.46 per warrant (25% of the issue price) is payable upfront, with the remaining ₹37.36 per warrant (75%) payable upon conversion.
In addition, the company proposed to acquire a 51% stake in Indore Highway Real Estates Private Limited by purchasing 25,500 equity shares at ₹152.89 per share, for a total consideration of ₹38,98,695. This acquisition is expected to make Indore Highway Real Estates Private Limited a subsidiary of Highway Infrastructure Limited and strengthen its presence in infrastructure activities. The acquisition is anticipated to be completed in approximately one month and is considered a related party transaction.
The Board also approved the draft notice for an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to seek shareholder approval for the proposed share capital increase and the issuance of share warrants to the promoter and promoter group. The Board meeting commenced at 8:00 PM and concluded at 8:14 PM on October 14, 2026.
