Vishal Fabrics Ltd. announced the allotment of 50,00,000 equity shares, each with a face value of Rs 5, to Multitude Growth Funds, a Mauritius-based firm, following the conversion of an equal number of warrants. These warrants, part of a preferential allotment, were issued at Rs 30.60 each, and the current conversion involved the receipt of the balance amount of Rs 11,47,50,000 (representing 75 per cent or Rs 22.95 per warrant).

Earlier, Vishal Fabrics Limited invested in Chiripal Textile Mills Pvt Ltd (CTMPL). The company acquired 1,73,825 equity shares of CTMPL at a price of Rs 201 per share, amounting to a total consideration of Rs 3,49,38,825, based on an independent valuation. This acquisition has increased Vishal Fabrics Limited's equity stake in CTMPL from 37.72 per cent to 42.36 per cent, reinforcing CTMPL as its associate company, and is considered a related party transaction conducted at arm's length to foster business growth, given the promoter group's existing interest in CTMPL, which reported a turnover of Rs 530.55 crore in FY 2023-24 and is involved in a wide range of textile manufacturing and processing activities.
