Jindal Worldwide Approves Up to ₹650 Crore Rights Issue Aiming for Debt-Free Status by FY27​

Jindal Worldwide Limited, an established integrated textile company based in Ahmedabad, announced that its Board of Directors has approved a significant strategic move: issuing a Rights Issue of up to ₹650 crore (Rupees Six Hundred Fifty Crore) to existing shareholders. This decision marks a pivotal step aimed at transforming the financial structure of the Company.

The funds raised through the Rights Issue are specifically earmarked to strengthen Jindal Worldwide Limited’s balance sheet, supporting the management's ambitious goal to achieve debt-free status by Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27). To facilitate this large-scale capital raise, the Board has also authorized seeking shareholder consent for a corresponding increase in the Company's Authorized Share Capital.

The company stated that the fund raising effort goes beyond mere capital generation; it represents a decisive step toward reshaping its financial foundation. By channeling these funds towards deleveraging, Jindal Worldwide aims to position itself for greater operational flexibility and improved long-term value enhancement for all stakeholders.

Strategic Focus on Deleveraging and Growth​

Management views the Rights Issue as a defining moment in Jindal Worldwide’s trajectory. Amit Agrawal, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of Jindal Worldwide Limited, emphasized that the capital injection provides the necessary leverage to fundamentally reset the balance sheet.

"This is not an incremental step; it is a genuine turnaround for our business," Mr. Agrawal stated. "A debt-free balance sheet will grant us greater flexibility to invest in growth and improve margins, delivering sustained long-term value to our shareholders."

The company believes this strategic initiative will significantly enhance financial flexibility, reduce interest costs, and free up resources required to capitalize on opportunities across its textile business with a de-risked capital structure.

Jindal Worldwide Limited is recognized as one of India's leading integrated textile companies, operating from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The Company engages in the manufacturing and marketing of various denim and other textile products, serving both domestic and international markets.
