The funds would be raised for capital expenditure , working capital and general corporate purposes, in the domestic market.
The company also got members' approval to amend the Memorandum of Association (MoA) to provide focus on new business segments like e-mobility, waste-to-energy, manufacturing of value added products from fly ash, gypsum etc. and sea water desalination.
Presently, these businesses are covered under allied/ancillary industries, which means there is no specific provision regarding these segments in the MoA.
