Rs 5,000 Cr Fundraise: UltraTech to Consider NCD Issuance on July 23
UltraTech Cement has scheduled a Finance Committee meeting for July 23, 2026, to consider raising up to Rs 5,000 crore through unsecured Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs). The proposal involves issuing up to 5,00,000 debentures with a face value of Rs 1,00,000 each on a private placement basis. This fundraise represents approximately 5.6% of the company's TTM revenue and 6.7% of its net worth, likely supporting its target to reach 200 MTPA capacity by FY26 exit. Given the company's low Debt/Equity ratio of 0.27, this additional leverage remains well within manageable limits.
