Punjab Carbonic is seeking to raise fresh capital through an Initial Public Offering (IPO), having filed its initial IPO documents with India's Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
The public offering includes 95 lakh equity shares, with 60 lakh shares being newly issued and 35 lakh offered by existing investors. The company plans to list its shares on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Funding Carbon Capture and Logistics Expansion
The capital raised will be strategically deployed to enhance the company's operational capacity and market reach. A significant portion will finance the establishment of two Carbon Monoxide (CO) recovery units. One unit will have a capacity of 120 Metric Tonnes Per Day (MTPD) and the other 90 MTPD, both located in Nellore and Peddapuram, Andhra Pradesh. Investment is also earmarked for acquiring CO transportation tankers to strengthen its logistics infrastructure.
Ethanol Business Growth and Financial Stability
Furthermore, Punjab Carbonic intends to expand its Ethanol Distillery capacity by 35 Kilo Litres Per Day (KLPD) at its subsidiary, Pancarbo Greenfuels, in Punjab. Beyond operational expansion, the IPO proceeds will help address financial obligations, including the repayment of outstanding borrowings. A portion of the funds will also be allocated for general corporate purposes, ensuring long-term financial stability. Beeline Capital Advisors is acting as the lead manager for the issue, with KFin Technologies serving as the Registrar.
