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, has announced a Rights Issue for its eligible shareholders aimed at enhancing financial flexibility and supporting the Company's strategic business priorities.

Rights Issue Overview:

The Board of Directors of Sumeet Industries Limited has approved the terms of a Rights Issue aggregating to ₹199.75 Cr through the issuance of ₹16.84 Cr fully paid-up equity shares.

The Company proposes to deploy ₹49.00 Cr from the Rights Issue proceeds towards the acquisition and operationalisation of Additional 140,000 Ton Per Annum Polyester Chips (CP) Plant acquired from Nakoda Limited in Surat, Gujarat. The project involves a total capital outlay of ₹90.00 Cr; with the balance ₹41.00 Cr 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 - manufacturing scale-up, asset integration, balance sheet strengthening, and 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 Sumeet Industries 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, expand manufacturing capabilities.

Commenting on the Rights Issue, Mr. Pratik R. Jaju, Managing Director of Sumeet Industries Limited said, "The Rights 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 ₹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."
