Steelco Gujarat Ltd is considering a rights issue to comply with SEBI’s minimum public shareholding (MPS) norms. The move aims to dilute promoter holding and increase public participation, aligning with regulatory mandates and enhancing liquidity in the company’s equity shares.
Steelco Gujarat Ltd has announced its intent to explore a rights issue as part of its strategy to meet the minimum public shareholding (MPS) requirement mandated by SEBI. The company’s current public shareholding falls below the prescribed threshold of 25%, prompting the board to evaluate equity dilution mechanisms.
As per recent filings and BSE circulars, Steelco Gujarat’s equity shares are listed in the XT Group of Securities and traded under the Trade-to-Trade segment, which limits intraday trading and emphasizes delivery-based transactions. The rights issue, if approved, will offer existing shareholders an opportunity to subscribe to additional equity, thereby increasing public float and improving compliance.
Key Highlights:
-
Objective: Achieve SEBI-mandated 25% minimum public shareholding
-
Proposed Mechanism: Rights issue under consideration
-
Current Status: Listed in XT Group; Trade-to-Trade segment
-
Shareholding Pattern: Promoter holding exceeds regulatory limits
-
Market Impact: Expected to enhance liquidity and investor participation
The company is expected to finalize the rights issue structure post board and regulatory approvals.
