Navin Fluorine board approves Rs 750 crore QIP, sets floor price at Rs 4,798.28 per share

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 7, 2025, 21:50 IST Navin Fluorine International Limited on Monday, July 7, announced that its Board of Directors has approved opening a qualified institutions placement (QIP) of equity shares to raise up to ₹750 crore. In a filing with BSE and NSE, the company said the board approved the opening of the issue and adopted the preliminary placement document and application form. The floor price for the QIP has been set at ₹4,798.28 per equity share, calculated as per SEBI's ICDR Regulations. The board has also fixed July 7, 2025, as the relevant date for the issue. As per shareholder approval obtained earlier, the company may offer up to a 5% discount on the floor price, and the final issue price will be determined in consultation with the book running lead manager.
