International Conveyors seeks shareholder vote on ₹325 Crore in loans and promoter deals

International Conveyors Limited is asking shareholders to vote on significant financial proposals, including lending up to ₹325 Crore and approving related party deals totaling ₹325 Crore with promoter group entities. The company plans to deploy its surplus funds through these actions. Shareholders will cast their votes via e-voting from April 1 to April 30, 2026.

The company has outlined two main proposals for shareholder approval. The first seeks authorization to extend loans, provide guarantees, or offer security, with an aggregate limit of ₹325 Crore. The second proposal concerns approving related party transactions with specific promoter group entities: IGE (India) Pvt Ltd (up to ₹175 Crore), R.C.A. Limited (up to ₹100 Crore), and Dabri Properties & Trading Co Pvt Ltd (up to ₹50 Crore). The sum of these specific transactions amounts to ₹325 Crore.

Remote e-voting for these resolutions will be open from April 1 to April 30, 2026. The cut-off date for determining voting rights was March 20, 2026. The results are expected by May 4, 2026.

These proposals are key to the company's financial strategy, enabling it to deploy surplus funds by potentially supporting its promoter group. Shareholder approval will grant the company the flexibility for these significant financial commitments and transactions, ensuring compliance with company rules. International Conveyors Limited, founded in 1973, is a major manufacturer of PVC conveyor belting used in mining and bulk transport. The promoter group has long-standing ties with the company. Shareholders' vote will directly influence the company's ability to advance substantial funds to related entities and deploy capital for approved transactions.

Transactions with related parties require careful review to ensure they are conducted on fair terms and benefit the company. Significant outflows for loans or guarantees, even from internal resources, could potentially impact the company's liquidity and the cash available for other business plans. The company and its management have faced regulatory scrutiny in the past; for example, the then Managing Director received a ₹49 lakh fine in August 2019 for insider trading violations, and SEBI issued an adjudication order concerning Alka Malpani in July 2021.

Finding directly comparable listed peers for the specific business of manufacturing PVC conveyor belting is difficult. Broader industrial and engineering companies like Tega Industries Ltd and Elecon Engineering Company Ltd operate in related areas such as mining consumables and material handling equipment. However, specific comparisons for seeking shareholder approval on substantial loans and related party transactions are not readily available in public data.

Investors will track the outcome of the shareholder voting, which concludes on April 30, 2026, and the formal announcement of the results by May 4, 2026. The specific terms and execution details of any approved loans, guarantees, and related party transactions will also be important to monitor.
