The move is part of a preferential allotment plan aimed at strengthening the company’s capital base and supporting future expansion in container freight and inland depot operations.
Key Highlights:

The warrants will be issued at a price determined by SEBI’s preferential issue guidelines, with a conversion option into equity shares within 18 months.

Promoters are required to pay 25 percent upfront, with the remaining amount payable upon conversion.
-
The allotment is subject to shareholder approval and regulatory compliance under SEBI’s LODR framework.

The company recently leased 30 acres in Chennai for capacity expansion and reported steady CFS volumes of 51,400 TEUs in April 2025.
-
Promoter holding stood at 65.82 percent as of April 2025, and the warrant issuance is expected to reinforce control while providing growth capital.
Market Outlook:
-
Analysts view the move as a signal of promoter confidence amid rising demand for integrated logistics and warehousing services.
-
The capital infusion will likely support technology upgrades, land acquisition, and operational scaling in Tier-I and Tier-II port clusters.
