The issue price is fixed at Rs 150 per share, having a face value of Rs 2, meaning the issue comes at a premium of Rs 148 per share, the company said in a statement.

These rights shares are sold at a discount to the current market price.

A participating shareholder will get one equity share for every two shares they own as of February 1, 2024 (the record date), the statement said, adding that the last date for credit of rights entitlements is February 6 and the last date for renunciation rights is February 8, which means the rights entitlements can be bought and sold on February 7 and February 8.
