Shares of Dev Information Technology Limited, a small-cap IT firm, surged nearly 17% in intraday trading on Monday, October 20, following the company’s announcement of a new fundraising plan. The sharp rally ended the stock’s six-day losing streak and pushed its market capitalization above ₹235 crore.
Fundraising Details
Over the weekend, Dev Information Technology’s board approved a proposal to raise up to ₹68.17 crore through the issuance of 1.50 crore convertible warrants at ₹45.45 per warrant. These warrants will be offered to Aeroflex Enterprises, a non-promoter entity, on a preferential basis.
This move is aimed at strengthening the company’s financial position and supporting its future business expansion plans.
Active Order Book and New Projects
According to a company release, Dev Information Technology currently holds active work orders worth ₹50 crore from various government agencies across India.
Recently, the company secured a new project from RajCOMP Info Services, a Government of Rajasthan undertaking, for its “Portal Websites” initiative. The project involves delivering IT/ITeS and software development services to enhance government digital platforms.
The company stated that the scope of work includes improving integrated web portals and mobile responsiveness, with development on the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) platform and related mobile application components.
