Neogen Shares Fall as QIP Floor Price Set
Neogen Chemicals wants to raise about ₹600 crore from large institutional investors.
It plans to do this through a process called a Qualified Institutions Placement, or QIP.
The company set the minimum issue price at ₹2,189.73 per share.
It may offer investors a discount of up to 5% from that price.
The company’s board and shareholders have already approved the fundraising plan.
Neogen says it will use the money for battery-materials projects and to reduce debt.
After the floor price was announced, the company’s shares fell as much as 4.6% during Friday trading.
The shares have nevertheless recorded strong gains over several reported time periods.
Neogen Chemicals fixed the floor price for its proposed ₹600 crore QIP at ₹2,189.73 per equity share.
The price uses the formula under Regulation 176(1) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, with a possible discount of up to 5%.
September 10, 2026, was set as the QIP’s Relevant Date.
The fundraise was approved by the board on July 24 and by shareholders through a special resolution on August 21.
QIP proceeds are intended for the Dahej Phase 1 and Pakhajan Phase 2 battery-materials projects and debt reduction.
