Shares of agrichemicals firm UPL Ltd today rose over 6 per cent after the Reserve Bank of India allowed foreign investors to hold up to 74 per cent paid-up capital in the company.
UPL’s stock surged 6 per cent to Rs 355.40 on the BSE. On the NSE, the scrip rose 6.27 per cent to Rs 355.90.
The Reserve Bank had yesterday allowed foreign investors to hold up to 74 per cent paid-up capital in UPL Ltd under Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) as the prescribed limit has gone below threshold.
“...advised that FIIs/RFPIs can now invest up to 74 per cent of the paid-up capital of UPL Limited under the Portfolio Investment Scheme,” RBI had said in a notification.
Foreign shareholding by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) or Registered Foreign Portfolios Investors (RFPIs) in the company had gone below the revised threshold limit.
The decision to enhance the limit for foreign investment came after the board of the company passed a special resolution, agreeing to raise the limit for purchase of its equity shares and convertible debentures by FIIs/RFPIs.
“Hence, the restrictions placed on the purchase of shares of the above company are withdrawn with immediate effect,” RBI had said.
