Ducon Board Approves Capital Increase And Promoter Loan Conversion

The board approved the increase in authorised share capital, subject to shareholder consent at a general meeting, to provide scope for future strategic and expansion-led initiatives and to support potential fund-raising exercises. The decision was presented as a means to improve the company's ability to pursue growth opportunities across its core businesses.

The board also approved a proposal to convert unsecured loans extended by the promoter and managing director, Arun Govil, into equity in any future fund-raising undertaken by the company, a move intended to reinforce the balance sheet and align promoter commitment with long-term shareholder value creation. The company indicated that this measure will strengthen capital adequacy and signal promoter confidence in its development plans.

An extraordinary general meeting has been scheduled for 20 May 2026 to seek shareholder approval for the resolutions, with notices to be circulated as required under the listing regulations and company law. The board said the meeting will enable shareholders to consider the proposals and decide on the authorisation increase and loan conversion arrangements.

For the financial year FY25, the company reported consolidated total income of Rs 4,510 million (mn), EBITDA of Rs 310 million (mn) and net profit of Rs 140 million (mn). Ducon, headquartered in Thane, provides engineering, procurement and construction solutions across environmental control, clean energy, infrastructure and process industries, offering design, supply, installation and lifecycle services. The company added that the steps are intended to position it to capitalise on emerging opportunities in clean energy and infrastructure markets.
