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.

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.
