Shera Energy Limited, a prominent player in the energy sector, has secured in-principle approval from the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) for the issuance of 16,86,000 equity shares under a preferential issue basis. The shares will be issued at a price of ₹184 per share, with a face value of ₹10 per share, as per the company’s latest regulatory filing.

This approval, granted under Regulation 28(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, paves the way for the company to raise funds and enhance its capital structure. The company formally notified the stock exchange of this development on March 11, 2025.

Key Highlights of the NSE Approval

According to the official letter (Ref: NSE/LIST/44760) dated March 10, 2025, NSE has granted conditional approval for the preferential issue of equity shares, subject to compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

The preferential issue will provide Shera Energy with additional financial resources to support its business expansion, operational growth, and investment initiatives.

Regulatory and Compliance Requirements

While granting the in-principle approval, NSE has outlined several key conditions that Shera Energy must adhere to, including:

1. Filing the listing application immediately after the allotment of shares.
2. Obtaining statutory approvals from relevant authorities such as SEBI, RBI, and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
3. Ensuring compliance with applicable laws, including the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
4. Strengthening internal monitoring controls to ensure that allottees comply with SEBI trading restrictions before the allotment of shares.
5. Obtaining written undertakings from allottees confirming they will not engage in intra-day trading or sell shares in contravention of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018.

The exchange has further clarified that the approval is not an endorsement under any other regulatory framework, and Shera Energy must seek separate approvals if required.

The preferential issue marks a strategic move for Shera Energy as it continues to expand its operations. The capital infusion from this issuance will allow the company to:

• Strengthen its balance sheet and support business expansion initiatives.
• Improve liquidity and market capitalization, making the stock more attractive to investors.
• Enhance operational efficiency by allocating funds toward technology upgrades, production capacity expansion, and new project developments.

The approval also signals strong investor interest in Shera Energy, as the preferential issue is expected to bring in new strategic investors while reinforcing confidence among existing stakeholders.
