New Delhi, Jan 29 (PTI) Grasim Industries said its Rs 4,000 crore rights issue has been subscribed nearly two-fold on the final day of subscription on Monday.
The company has received a cumulative bid for nearly 4.34 crore shares as against 2.21 crore shares offered by the Aditya Birla Group firm, according to an exchange filing.
The rights were issued at Rs 1,810 per share, which was 16 per cent less than the prevailing market price.

In a separate filing to stock exchanges, Grasim Industries said it has repaid Rs 600 crore to investors of its commercial paper which matured on Monday.

Earlier on January 4, the board of Grasim Industries had approved raising of Rs 4,000 crore through a rights issue to fund its next phase of growth by issuing 2.21 crore shares having face value of Rs 2, with a premium of Rs 1,810.
