Sumeet Industries Limited (NSE Code: SUMEETINDS, BSE Code: 514211), one of the leading integrated polyester manufacturers engaged in the production of Pet Chips, Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) and Polyester Texturized Yarn, is coming out with a Rights Issue to raise Rs 199.75 crore.
The rights issue of 16.84 crore fully paid up equity shares, which opened on June 12, 2026, will be closed on July 20, 2026, aimed at enhancing financial flexibility and supporting the company’s strategic business priorities. Out of the proceeds of Rs 199.75 crore to be raised through the rights issue, the company proposed to deploy Rs 49 crore towards the acquisition and operationalisation of an additional 140,000 tonne per annum Polyester Chips (CP) plant acquired from Nakoda Limited in Surat, Gujarat. The project involves a total capital outlay of Rs 90.00 crore, with the balance Rs 41.00 crore being funded through internal accruals. Expected to be recommissioned in Q1 FY27-28, the facility will strengthen backward integration and support the company’s downstream polyester manufacturing operations.
Strategically, the proposed capital allocation is focused on four key pillars – (a) manufacturing scale-up, (b) asset integration, (c) balance sheet strengthening, and (d) energy security. Together, these initiatives are expected to enhance operational resilience, improve resource efficiency, and strengthen the company’s long-term growth platform. The planned investments are intended to strengthen Sumeet Industries’ competitive positioning while supporting sustainable and profitable growth over the long term.
The capital raised through the rights issue will support the company’s next phase of growth by strengthening working capital, accelerating the integration of acquired manufacturing assets, optimizing the capital structure through debt reduction, and enhancing energy security through a captive solar power facility. These initiatives are expected to improve operational efficiency and expand manufacturing capabilities.
Commenting on the company’s rights issue, Mr Pratik R. Jaju, Managing Director, said, “The Issue marks an important milestone in Sumeet Industries’ growth journey and reflects our commitment to strengthening the company’s operational and financial position. We are pleased to offer our existing shareholders an opportunity to participate in the company’s future growth.
“The proposed fund raise of Rs 199.75 Cr will support key strategic priorities, including working capital requirements, integration of acquired manufacturing assets, debt reduction, and investment in a captive solar power facility. A key focus area will be the operationalisation of the recently acquired Polyester Chips manufacturing facility from Nakoda Limited, which is expected to strengthen backward integration and enhance our integrated polyester value chain.
“This acquisition will support our downstream POY and FDY operations, enhance operational scale, and provide a strong platform for future growth. Driven by the anticipated benefits of this acquisition and its integration, the company expects approximately 30% growth in Total Income during FY 2026-27, with EBITDA margins in the range of 5.0%-6.0%. Following the successful integration of the acquisition, Total Income is expected to nearly double in FY 2027-28, while EBITDA margins are expected to improve to 5.5%-6.5%.
“As we continue to focus on expanding our presence across the polyester value chain, strengthening backward integration, we believe this Rights Issue will further position the company to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities and deliver sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.”
