Mankind Pharma Surges on Board's Approval to Raise Rs 10,000 Crore via NCDs and CPs

In a recent move that has caught the attention of investors, Mankind Pharma's stock price reached a record high, climbing a notable 3.14% to Rs 2,627.10. This surge in the company's stock value came on the heels of an announcement that the company's board gave its nod for a sizable fundraising initiative. Mankind Pharma has decided to raise a hefty sum of Rs 10,000 crore. This substantial amount is planned to be sourced through the issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) and commercial papers (CPs).

Fundraising Strategy

The decision taken by the board of Mankind Pharma is a strategic one, as it plans to carry out this fundraising through a private placement basis. By opting to issue NCDs and CPs, the company is tapping into a form of debt financing that does not dilute shareholder equity. It is a move that signals the management’s confidence in the company's steady cash flows and creditworthiness.

Impact on the Stock Market

The news of the fundraising has been received positively by the market, as reflected by the uptick in Mankind Pharma’s share prices.
