BENGALURU, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Indias Grasim Industries (GRAS.NS) said on Monday it will raise up to 40 billion rupees ($480.64 million) through a rights issue as it looks to pay down debt and become the countrys second-biggest paints company.
The fund raiseat the Aditya Birla Group-owned company, which has already raised money through debt earlier this year, comes as the textile-to-chemicals maker plans to enter the paint business under the brand name Birla Opus in the fourth-quarter of fiscal 2024.
\“The capital outlay for the company to establish itself as Indias second largest decorative paints player is on track\”, the company said on Monday.
In that industry, Birla Opus will compete with Asian Paints (ASPN.NS), which controls nearly half the countrys market share.
Grasim had said it will invest 100 billion rupees towards setting up its paints business.
Shares of Grasim have risen 14.5% so far this year, outperforming the bluechip Nifty 50 (.NSEI) index, which rose 9%.
