An additional ₹61 crore is allocated for working capital and general corporate purposes. The EGM is scheduled for March 29, 2026.
The announcement pertains to a preferential issue and includes significant details about investment in a subsidiary for a new business line (battery chemicals), capital expenditure, and fundraising. This could have a medium-term impact on the company's financial structure and future growth prospects.
The announcement is a procedural update (corrigendum) regarding a previously announced preferential issue and EGM. While it provides details on investment plans, it does not introduce new positive or negative financial outcomes or business developments.
Neogen Chemicals Limited has issued a corrigendum to the Notice of its Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EGM), originally scheduled for March 29, 2026. This update is in response to clarifications requested by the BSE and NSE regarding the proposed preferential issue.
The corrigendum modifies the explanatory statement for Item No. 1 of the Notice, detailing the objects and utilization of the preferential issue proceeds. A significant portion, ₹100 crore, is earmarked for investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Neogen Ionics Limited (NIL), which is developing battery chemicals and materials for energy storage solutions. NIL has acquired approximately 65 acres in Pakhajan, Dahej PCPIR, Gujarat, for a new battery materials facility, with an estimated Capex of ₹1,500 crore and a peak revenue potential of ₹2,500 crore to ₹2,950 crore.
An additional ₹21 crore is allocated for working capital requirements, and ₹40 crore for general corporate purposes. The deployment of these funds is planned within 90 days from the allotment date, with a potential variation of +/- 10% in estimated amounts.
The corrigendum also updates the certificate from the Practicing Company Secretary regarding the preferential issue's compliance with SEBI ICDR Regulations and clarifies the status of the proposed allottee, Cadamba Solutions Private Limited, a promoter group member, which will subscribe to 10,00,000 equity shares at ₹1,610 per share. It further details inter-se share transfers by promoter and promoter group individuals to their family trusts on December 31, 2025, for internal reorganization, which do not alter control of the company.
The EGM Notice, along with this corrigendum, will be read in conjunction and will be available on the company's website and the stock exchanges' websites. The company will also publish this intimation in the Financial Express and Mumbai Lakshadeep.
