The manufacturer of kitchen appliances, Stove Kraft, operates in a highly competitive market and has turned profitable just two years ago. It has posted exceptional figures in the first half of FY21. The company is also engaged in retailing of a diverse suite of kitchen solutions under Pigeon and Gilma brands. However, the brand Pigeon, which contributes to 80 percent sales, is under a legal dispute.
Stove Kraft proposes to utilize the net proceeds from the fresh issue towards repayment or pre-payment of certain borrowings availed by the firm and for general corporate purposes.
