NHC Foods Hits Upper Circuit After Warrant Issue Approval
NHC Foods is a company whose share price has been rising quickly.
On 26 August, its share reached the highest allowed daily price increase on the BSE.
The company’s board approved plans to increase the amount of share capital it is allowed to issue.
It also proposed selling up to 25.60 crore warrants to investors who are not company promoters.
These warrants could later become shares, but shareholders must approve the plan first.
The company also converted part of some foreign-currency bonds into shares.
This increased its paid-up share capital to about ₹94.38 crore.
NHC Foods also appointed Pradeep Agarwal as its chief financial officer from 1 September.
NHC Foods rose 5% to its upper circuit of ₹2.05 on the BSE on 26 August.

It approved up to 25.60 crore convertible warrants for non-promoters at ₹2.10 each, subject to shareholder approval.
