Rossell Techsys Approves ₹300 Crore Preferential Issue to SBI Mutual Fund
Rossell Techsys Limited has approved a proposal to raise approximately ₹300 crore through a preferential issue of equity shares to SBI Mutual Fund and SBI Optimal Equity Fund.
The decision was approved by the company’s Board of Directors at its meeting held on September 18, 2026, subject to shareholder approval and other applicable statutory and regulatory approvals.
Rossell Techsys ₹300 Crore Fundraise
The Board has approved the issue of up to 25,72,898 fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each at an issue price of ₹1,166 per share.
The proposed preferential issue will raise an aggregate ₹299.99 crore in cash for the company.
The issue price includes a ₹1,164 per-share premium over the ₹2 face value.
The shares will be issued on a preferential basis through private placement to two proposed investors:
- SBI Mutual Fund: 23,15,609 shares, representing 5.75% of the company’s shareholding post allotment
- SBI Optimal Equity Fund: 2,57,289 shares, representing 0.64%
- Total: 25,72,898 shares, representing 6.39% post allotment
SBI Mutual Fund to Receive Majority of Shares
SBI Mutual Fund will account for the majority of the proposed issue, with an investment of approximately ₹270 crore.
SBI Optimal Equity Fund is proposed to invest approximately ₹30 crore.
Together, the two investors would subscribe to the entire proposed ₹299.99 crore preferential issue.
The company has stated that there were two investors in the proposed preferential issue.
Shareholder Approval Required
The preferential issue is not yet an allotment. The proposal remains subject to approval from the company’s shareholders as well as requisite statutory and regulatory approvals.
Rossell Techsys has decided to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on October 15, 2026, through video conferencing/other audio-visual means to seek shareholder approval for the proposed fundraise.
The company will separately submit the EGM notice to the stock exchanges after it is sent to shareholders.
What the Fundraise Means for Rossell Techsys
The proposed transaction would provide Rossell Techsys with approximately ₹300 crore of fresh cash, while increasing the company’s equity share count.
The proposed shares would represent 6.39% of the company’s shareholding after the preferential issue, based on the company’s disclosure. This means existing shareholders would see their percentage ownership diluted if the issue is completed.
The filing, however, does not specify in the disclosed information provided here how the ₹300 crore will be deployed. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to attribute the fundraise to a specific capex project, acquisition, or working-capital requirement unless the company provides further details.
