GRP Ltd

- The Board has approved raising up to ₹150 crore through equity shares or other eligible securities via Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) or other permissible modes, subject to necessary approvals. - The company plans to use a combination of debt, equity, and internal accruals to finance expansions and new projects, including the tire pyrolysis businesses and crumb rubber facilities. - A Development Finance Institution (DFI)-backed External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) of €15 million from Proparco has been taken, supporting debt requirements with added ESG monitoring and social impact objectives. - The company is considering options like QIP and rights issue to fulfill the equity portion, aiming to avoid over-leveraging and ensure prudent capital deployment. - Internal accruals and improved profitability from subsidiaries and new capacities will also contribute to funding.

- GRP Limited has approved a CAPEX of up to ₹250 crore for diversification initiatives, executed in two phases. - Phase 1 involves ₹150 crore investment, scheduled for completion by December 2025, covering: - Expansion of crumb rubber manufacturing capacity including radial tire sources. - Downstream expansion into tire pyrolysis and recovered carbon black (RCB) manufacturing. - Part of the expansion includes new technology for reclaim rubber production. - ₹24 crore CAPEX has already been incurred toward the Phase 1 greenfield project. - Revenues from Phase 1A expected to start from Q4 FY25 with subsequent phases completing by December 2025. - Funding planned via a mix of internal accruals, debt (including a €15 million ECB loan from Proparco, France - a development financial institution), and equity (up to ₹150 crore through QIP or other modes). - The ECB loan supports ESG goals and validates technology. - Additional growth opportunities and funding needs may be addressed through further QIP or rights issue as required.

- GRP Limited expects growth driven by expansion in reclaim rubber capacity and new technologies. - Domestic reclaim rubber consumption grew 10% YoY in Q1 FY '25; revenues rose 9% YoY in Q2 FY '25; overall reclaim rubber revenue increased 16% in H1 FY '25. - Growth tied to tire industry sustainability targets and increasing use of recycled materials like crumb rubber, pyrolysis oils, and recovered carbon black. - Non-reclaim rubber segment (e.g., polyamide from ocean plastics) showing strong 36% YoY volume growth, with entry into stringent markets (Europe). - New pyrolysis plant and recovered carbon black (RCB) plant expected operational by Q4 FY '25, contributing to revenue growth. - Subsidiaries (GCSL, GSPL) currently loss-making but expected to start contributing positively as they scale. - Capacity utilization for reclaim rubber currently ~90%; new technology lines expected to reach ~50-60% utilization by FY end. - Export demand is mixed, impacting revenue; domestic growth remains stronger.

- GRP Limited is strategically expanding into high-growth adjacencies aligned with sustainable materials, expecting long-term value creation. - The upcoming pyrolysis plant and crumb rubber facilities, targeted to commission by Q4 FY '25, are anticipated to enhance profitability. - Consolidated margins are expected to improve significantly due to diversified raw materials (radial, two-wheeler, four-wheeler tires) and multiple end industries, offering better EBITDA margins than current reclaim rubber margins. - Non-reclaim rubber segments (polyamide recycling, rubber composites) are small but strategic and expected to grow, supported by regulatory tailwinds such as mandates for recycled plastics usage in autos. - Subsidiaries like GCSL and GSPL are currently loss-making but are projected to contribute positively as they scale. - Debt-equity is prudent, with funding mix of debt, equity (QIP), and internal accruals supporting CAPEX of around Rs. 250-300 crores. - Near term earnings are moderated by higher depreciation and interest costs owing to capacity expansions but show growth in revenues and gross profits.
