Loans Converted into Equity in Subsidiary​

MRC Agrotech Ltd also approved the conversion of existing loans and advances, aggregating approximately ₹3.88 Crores, into equity investment in its subsidiary, Agronica Seeds Spark Private Limited. The company holds a 51% stake in this entity.

The transaction involves converting pre-existing financial instruments into equity capital within the subsidiary. Management noted that this conversion does not require any fresh disbursement of funds and was supported by a valuation report issued by an IBBI Registered Valuer.

The transaction was noted by the Board as a Related Party Transaction, given that Agronica Seeds Spark Private Limited is a subsidiary company.

In addition to these strategic transactions, the Board reviewed and sanctioned the capitalization of eligible completed Work-in-Progress. This approval allows for such WIP to be categorized as Fixed Assets in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013, and relevant Indian Accounting Standards.
