    Shiva Shree Hydropower Limited (SSHL) has made an important decision to issue 100% right shares to its shareholders in a 1:1 ratio, according to a recent board of directors’ meeting held on 14th Baisakh, 2080. This move will increase the company’s current paid-up capital from Rs. 1.47 Arba to Rs. 2.95 Arba.

    The primary objective of issuing the right shares is to pay back the bank debt. SSHL is preparing to issue rights after receiving approval from the Electricity Regulatory Commission and the subsequent Annual General Meeting. This is a significant development for SSHL, as it will not only help the company pay off its debts, but it will also increase its capital, giving it more financial flexibility to pursue future endeavors.

    The decision to issue right shares is a common practice among companies, and it allows them to raise capital by offering existing shareholders the right to purchase additional shares at a discounted price. This not only benefits the company but also the shareholders, as it enables them to increase their stake in the company at a lower cost.

    Overall, SSHL’s decision to issue 100% right shares is a positive move that will benefit both the company and its shareholders. The increased capital will give the company more financial flexibility to pursue its goals and pay off its debts, which is always a positive sign for any company.
