Kellton Tech to issue $10 million in FCCBs at ₹106 floor price; bond issuance opening on May 16
Kellton Tech Solutions has announced the issuance of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) worth USD 10 million, with a floor price set at ₹ 106 per equity share. The announcement comes ahead of the bond issuance opening on May 16, 2025, following board approval granted earlier this week.
In a regulatory filing, the company disclosed that the Security Issuance Committee, following the board meeting held on May 14, 2025, has been authorised to manage the entire FCCB issuance process.
The FCCBs will be issued internationally and are structured as 6.5 percent senior unsecured bonds with a maturity period extending to 10 years and 1 month from the date of full payment. The floor price for conversion has been determined in accordance with the FCCB Scheme, using May 14, 2025, as the relevant date for pricing calculations.
At a conversion rate of INR 85.3 per USD, the bond issuance translates to approximately ₹ 85.3 crore, which upon full conversion, would result in the allotment of nearly 80.47 lakh equity shares of ₹ 5 each. The company expects to complete the allotment of FCCBs within 30 days from the issue's closing date.
Notably, the filing also clarified that there have been no defaults in the company's past FCCB obligations, and there is no proposal to issue preferential or bonus shares alongside this offering. The move underscores Kellton Tech's focus on shoring up its capital structure to support future growth through diversified funding channels.
The market responded positively to the development. On Thursday, May 15, Kellton Tech's shares rose as much as 1.3 percent in intra-day trade to touch ₹ 117.10. While still over 36 percent below its 52-week high of ₹ 184.30 recorded in July 2024, the stock has shown signs of recovery. It has gained nearly 38 percent from its 52-week low of ₹ 85, hit in June 2024.
Over the past year, the stock has appreciated 20 percent. Notably, after enduring four straight months of losses, the stock has rebounded in May with a near 9 percent gain so far. It had declined 0.5 percent in April, 1.4 percent in March, 25.4 percent in February, and 3 percent in January.

Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani as Reliance plans to invest Rs 4170000000000 in…, Morgan Stanley says…
Reliance gets huge business of... starts venture with world's largest asset manager, its name is..., Mukesh Ambani's earnings to go up by... New Delhi: In a major step, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries is bracing for a massive leap, charting an ambitious course to unlock its next USD 50 billion in value creation from its current USD 240+ billion market cap. The company is reportedly betting on green energy and generative AI. According to a Morgan Stanley report, the Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate could be entering its most transformational phase yet. 'We believe new energy and AI infrastructure will drive this next leg, funded by strong earnings from its existing energy business—which could outperform expectations. The consumer business also has solid valuation support,' the brokerage firm said. Morgan Stanley said that at the heart of Reliance's pathway is the integration of its new energy business with AI infrastructure, particularly at its Jamnagar complex. The Gen AI infrastructure in Jamnagar is expected to be ready in two years. It is important to note that RIL sees its New Energy business being 'more ambitious, far more transformational, and far more global in scope than anything it's ever done before'. Reliance's green push and AI ambitions: A perfect combination With an aim to capitalize the growing global demand for green energy and AI capabilities, the RIL is transforming energy hub to monetize its energy production through powering chemicals, data centers, and refineries. To recall, Reliance in its Q3FY25 earnings call had announced that it plans to build a 1GW data center capacity powered by NVIDIA's Blackwell chips. According to estimates by Morgan Stanley, the 1GW facility alone would need approximately 678k B100 chips. If RIL were to use around 200MW for its own purposes, it would need about 135k B100 chips. Further, the 1GW facility when scaled up, which normally needs 4-5 years from startup, would require approximately 1.3GW of round-the-clock power, which Reliance's new energy ecosystem is designed to supply. Reliance's new energy vertical While clean energy and AI form the bedrock of future growth, Reliance's traditional businesses continue to provide the cash and scale to back this transformation. Morgan Stanley has estimated that Reliance's New Energy division — covering solar, batteries, green hydrogen, and carbon capture — could create up to $60 billion in value, highlighting its potential as a major driver of future growth. The shift from fossil fuels to clean energy will allow Reliance to sustainably power its refineries, chemical plants, and digital infrastructure. The company is spreading its renewable energy presence. It is important to note that the group's 10 GW solar manufacturing chain, targeted for 2026, along with its green hydrogen facility in Kandla, is expected to further reduce costs and enhance vertical integration.

Investment of USD 75 bn needed for Indian farmers to adapt to climate change impact: IFAD President
Asked about the impact of climate change on the rural sectors, especially on small and marginal farmers, Lario said it's a key focus. In an interview to PTI, Lario said for IFAD in India, the three big questions are, 'how do we make agriculture more remunerative for farmers, how do we enhance productivity at the same time as we're tackling a lot of the climate shocks and how do we move from food security to nutrition security.' Founded in 1977 in response to a global food crisis, IFAD is a specialised United Nations agency and an international financial institution that tackles hunger and poverty in rural communities. New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI) Investments worth around USD 75 billion is required for small-scale farmers in India to adapt to the impact of climate change, and bringing finance to rural areas is a critical challenge ahead for rural communities across the world and in India, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) Alvaro Lario said. 'Small-scale farmers need approximately at least 75 billion US dollars to adapt to many of these climate shocks,' Lario told PTI. According to the 10th agriculture census of 2015-16, small and marginal farmers with less than two hectares of land account for 86.2 per cent of all farmers in India, but own just 47.3 per cent of the farming land. 'In case of India we're seeing seasonal water scarcity, rising temperatures, more frequent droughts, so there's a lot of investments that can actually support these small-scale farmers globally. In global climate finance, what we're seeing is that these small-scale producers, hundreds of millions of rural people, are only receiving less than one per cent of the overall global climate finance,' he said. Lario lauded schemes like 'soil health card', and said it gives farmers personalised recommendations on how they can improve their soil health, as well as incentives to adopt treat irrigation and other water-saving technologies. 'The challenges remain and we're seeing that many of the farmers are still struggling to adopt some of the climate smart practices. So still we need to continue investing, we are investing with the government at the central and state levels in India,' he said. 'For example in Maharashtra, in Meghalaya, Mizoram, Odisha, where we are bringing too many of these investments climate resilient practices that combine sustainability but also with income,' he said. He said it's important to focus on how these small-scale farmers can continue increasing their income through crop diversification, improved water management, or micro irrigation systems, and also creating community seed banks or using drought tolerant seeds. 'All of this is really gonna have a translation into better lives and better incomes,' he said. Lario said IFAD's priority is to mobilise financing, especially long-term financing for rural areas and deliver a long-lasting impact for those who need it most. 'We know that agriculture accounts for around 20 per cent of GDP in India and it employs around 42 per cent of the workforce. So even though there has been a lot of progress, we believe that continuing investing in pro-poor inclusive value chain and connecting small-scale producers to markets continues to be fundamental,' he said. He also stressed on bringing private capital into the sector. 'We're also trying to bring private capital, private local companies with the government by really bringing a partnership of the public, the private, and the producers themselves. We're also adopting agro-ecological approaches that are currently supporting commercially viable and sustainable value chains so that once more the goal is to improve the income of small-scale farmers and also the resilience to shock,' he said. Lario gave the example of Meghalaya, where IFAD has promoted and incubated a number of market-driven enterprises which are offering agri-entrepreneurs incubation, mentoring, credit, and access to markets. In Mizoram, he said, IFAD is promoting integrated farming, bringing together crops, livestock, agroforestry, in community-led clusters. 'We're introducing weather-based crop planning which is also enabling farmers to align the sowing with the rainfall forecast thereby reducing climate risk,' he said. He said IFAD was the first UN funded programme which received two credit ratings, and currently they're issuing bonds that are being bought by pension funds and central banks all over the world. 'We are also bringing capital and investment, especially private capital to these rural areas,' he said. 'We're currently using our own financing to co-invest with the private sector by directly investing in agri-enterprises, in local financial institutions and in value chain institutions that are very much serving small holder farmers,' he said. Lario further said the strategy is very much aligned with the Indian government's approach and over decades. According to IFAD, it has invested over USD 1.5 billion in India in the last 45 years, reaching over 6 million families. 'Our focus has been very much on investing in women, in tribal communities, small-scale producers and also on strengthening community institutions,' he added.

Gold falls Rs 550 to Rs 98,570/10 g amid muted global demand
Gold of 99.5 per cent purity declined by Rs 500 to Rs 98,100 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes). It had settled at Rs 98,600 per 10 grams in the previous market session. According to the All India Sarafa Association, the precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity had settled at Rs 99,120 per 10 grams on Saturday, up by Rs 100 from the previous close. New Delhi, Jul 7 (PTI) Gold prices fell by Rs 550 to Rs 98,570 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday following muted global trends and continued tariff threats from US President Donald Trump. Silver prices remained unchanged for the second straight session at Rs 1,04,800 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Monday. Bullion traders said the fall in gold prices was in line with subdued global trends and profit-booking by investors at higher levels. Moreover, seasonal demand in the physical market remained subdued, contributing to the decline in prices. Gold resumed trading on a weaker note, affected by the recovery of the US dollar and diminishing expectations for an interest rate cut following stronger-than-expected US job market data, Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst of Commodities at HDFC Securities, said. Additionally, safe haven demand diminished as tariff-related concerns eased after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated over the weekend that America is close to finalising trade deals with several countries, although tariffs will be implemented starting August 1, Gandhi added. Spot gold in the international markets depreciated by USD 38.95 or 1.17 per cent to USD 3,297.69 per ounce. 'Gold has come down slightly after the ceasefire announcements, as well as stronger than expected US data in recent days. However, the yellow metal buying by central banks is running at above 1,000 tonnes per annum and is unlikely to abate in the next few months. 'Also, the inflation is still running higher than what the US Federal Reserve expects, traders continue to remain bullish on gold,' Sandip Raichura, Chief Executive Officer of Retail Broking and Distribution & Director at PL Capital, said. According to Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities, the upcoming US Fed's FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting minutes on Wednesday may offer deeper insights into the central bank's monetary policy stance and the trajectory for bullion prices in the near term.
