The paint heavyweight has fallen 5.6% in two sessions after the launch of ‘Birla Opus’ by Aditya Birla Group flagship Grasim Industries last Thursday.
The capital raised through rights issues will be used to establish Grasim as India’s second largest decorative paints player.
The U.S.-based company also plans to double capacity at its site in Dahej, Gujarat, and open a grease lab in Navi Mumbai.
Grasim will launch its paints in early 2024. Grasim's capacity target of 1.3 billion litres is huge, considering Asian Paints' 1.73 billion litres capacity in FY20.
The Sensex and Nifty are poised to open higher on Wednesday, following positive cues from Asian peers and firm trading on the SGX Nifty futures.
Grasim's board recommends a dividend of ₹5 apiece for FY22, and a special dividend of ₹5 apiece, taking the total dividend to ₹10 apiece.
