PG Electroplast shares were buzzing in trade on December 5, surging 6 percent to hit a record high of Rs 820.75 after the company launched a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) to raise up to Rs 1,500 crore.

At 09.57 am, shares of PG Electroplast were trading at Rs 812.05 on the NSE, slightly off its record highs. With this, the stock has surged 16 percent in the past week.

Shares will be offered at floor price of Rs 705.18 apiece in the QIP, reflecting a near 9 percent discount to the Wednesday closing price of the stock. The QIP will result in an equity dilution of 6.7 percent, with proceeds earmarked for working capital needs, loan repayment, and other general corporate purposes. PG Electroplast secured board approval for the share placement on October 19, followed by shareholder approval through a special resolution on November 13.

According to CNBC-TV18 sources, the indicative issue price for the QIP is expected to be in the range of Rs 690-699 per share.
