Regulatory Challenges for Reliance Power

This recent rally follows the company’s board approving the issuance of up to 46.2 crore equity shares and/or warrants worth Rs 1,525 crore through a preferential allotment announced on Monday.

As part of this move, Reliance Infrastructure, the company’s promoter, plans to increase its equity stake by over Rs 600 crore. Other investors participating in this preferential issue include Authum Investment and Infrastructure Limited, as well as Sanatan Financial Advisory Services Private Limited.

Where will be the Funds Utilized?

The funds raised from this preferential issue are intended to expand business operations, either directly or through investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be allocated toward reducing debt and other general corporate purposes.
