Aequs Limited (AEQUS) has approved a preferential issue of up to 2,80,71,690 warrants, each convertible into one fully paid-up equity share of face value ₹10, to Mellwood Trustee Services Private Limited (Trustee of the Melligeri Private Family Foundation) (“Promoter”). This move aggregates to approximately ₹650 crore and is aimed at funding the company’s aerospace and consumer capacity expansion and supporting its borrowing program.

Significance of the Infusion

The proceeds from this infusion will fund capacity expansion across the aerospace and consumer businesses, including the development of the Hosur facility, investment in subsidiaries and joint ventures supporting that expansion, and general corporate purposes. The equity will also provide the base against which the company raises its term borrowings for the expansion. This infusion aligns the Promoter Group’s economic commitment with the company’s long-term growth plans and capital requirements.

Execution and Timeline

Of the total issue size of approximately ₹650 crore, ₹325 crore will be payable upfront upon allotment of the warrants, representing 50 per cent of the issue size, and twice the regulatory minimum. The balance will be payable upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants may be exercised within 18 months from the date of allotment. Conversion of warrants into equity shares, by making payment of balance consideration, shall take place on or before December 31, 2027. Promoter has undertaken to pay the balance consideration in full, irrespective of the market price of the company’s shares at the time of exercise.

An Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled on Thursday, October 22, 2026, through video conferencing to seek shareholders’ approval. The detailed terms and conditions of the proposed issue, along with other relevant disclosures, will be made available to shareholders and filed with the stock exchanges in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Aravind Melligeri, Executive Chairman & CEO, Aequs Limited, said: “We are winning programmes faster than we had planned for, and those wins need investment ahead of the revenue they bring. This issue gives Aequs committed capital to build that capacity and the equity base to support the borrowing that goes with it. The Promoter Group is subscribing at the price as per SEBI pricing formula and paying half of it upfront — that is the measure of our confidence in what this business can deliver.”

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Aequs Limited

Aequs Limited belongs to the Industrials › Aerospace & Defense sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Aequs posts a 7.5% three-month gain, but softens in the last few weeks. Margins at 12.4% are middling — adequate but leaving the business with little buffer against cost shocks. 4 loss quarters over five years is a serious red flag — earnings quality is poor and recovery is not guaranteed. The stock gives back 2.2% in the last month despite a positive three-month run. As a result, the earlier momentum appears to be fading. The stock holds up despite 14.8% revenue growth and a PEG of 99.00. That could signal an early turnaround. Alternatively, index flows simply support the price. Watch whether analysts revise estimates upward — that is the real signal. Check Fundamentals of Aequs Limited.

Dredging Corporation of India Limited (DREDGECORP) one of India’s leading dredging companies, celebrated its Golden Jubilee in FY 2025-26, marking 50 years of service since its establishment in 1976. The company highlighted its operational progress, return to profitability, fleet modernization program, and growth strategy at its Annual General Meeting. The financial performance during FY 2025-26 showed a revenue from operations of ₹1,208.33 crore and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹4.75 crore, compared with a loss of ₹27.46 crore in the previous year.

Stronger Business Base

DREDGECORP continues to maintain a strong operating base supported by maintenance dredging contracts at major ports. The company has secured a five-year maintenance dredging contract for Mumbai Harbour and JN Port channels, strengthening the visibility of its core maintenance dredging business.

Fleet Modernization and Expansion

A key component of DREDGECORP’s growth strategy is the modernization and expansion of its dredging fleet. The company has initiated a program to acquire 11 new dredgers over the next five years, covering different vessel types and capacities for port and inland-waterway applications. The indicative investment for the program is approximately ₹3,560 crore, proposed to be funded through a combination of equity and debt.

As a major milestone in this program, DREDGECORP Dredge Godavari, a 12,000 m³ Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger, is being constructed at Cochin Shipyard Limited under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative with technical collaboration from Royal /HG. Launched in October 2025, the vessel is expected to join DREDGECORP’s fleet during FY 2026-27 and will enhance the company’s capability to undertake higher-capacity and capital dredging assignments.

The company is also exploring facilities and collaborations for dry-docking and ship repair with shipyards and greenfield ports to reduce turnaround time and improve vessel availability.

That signals structural headwinds, not a short-term blip. The stock holds at 61% of its 52-week range with RSI at 40. In other words, neither side has a clear edge right now. The stock holds up despite -0.1% revenue growth and a PEG of 99.00. That could signal an early turnaround. Alternatively, index flows simply support the price.
