Craftsman Automation successfully completed a Qualified Institutional Placement on 18 June 2026, raising approximately ₹2,000 crore through the allotment of 22,98,850 equity shares at ₹8,700 per share. The issue price was offered at a 2.97% discount to the SEBI-prescribed floor price. The company's Fund-Raising Committee approved the issuance on June 15, 2026, after shareholders authorised the broader fund-raise at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on June 13, 2026. HDFC Trustee Company Limited - HDFC Flexi Cap Fund was allotted 16.5% of the total issue size, SBI Multicap Fund received 6%, and HDFC Life Insurance Company was allotted 5%, among others.

Why it mattersQIP pricing at 97% of floor price signals strong institutional demand for mid-cap engineering exporters with proven operational leverage; the deal structuring via accelerated placement (3-day subscription window, same-day allotment) reflects confidence in automotive supply-chain consolidation trends in EV and powertrain components, validating debt-to-equity recalibration strategies in capex-heavy industrial businesses.
