Commercial Syn Bags had received Rs 8.7102 crore from warrants issued earlier, of which Rs 5.8687 crore had been used towards the specified objects and Rs 2.8415 crore remained unutilised at 30 September 2026. The company said there was no deviation in the use of those funds. This is separate from the preferential warrant issue approved later in September.

At its 42nd annual general meeting on 29 September 2026, Commercial Syn Bags approved 3,25,000 convertible warrants at Rs 283 each on a preferential basis for promoters and the promoter group.

Conclusion

Commercial Syn Bags delivered higher half-year revenue and profit, with revenue increasing by Rs 42.7903 crore and profit increasing by Rs 3.7121 crore from the prior corresponding period.

The filing also leaves Rs 2.8415 crore of proceeds from earlier warrants unutilised as at 30 September 2026.
