The promoter group proposes to contribute Rs 372 crore, and Dinesh Kumar Agarwal, group CEO, is personally investing around Rs 26 crore, reflecting strong leadership commitment, the company added.


Monarch Net Capital (MNCL) acted as sole banker and advisor for this issue. The funds raised will be used strategically for investments in subsidiary companies, capital expenditures, working capital needs, repayment of existing loans and general corporate purposes.

Refex has also made significant progress in the passenger mobility sector through its subsidiary dedicated to electric vehicle services.

“Our focus on sustainability drives our efforts in both ash handling logistics and electric vehicle mobility,” said Anil Jain, CEO of Refex.

“This funding allows us to create innovative solutions with a strong emphasis on environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. “The support of our investors and leadership team shows their confidence in our mission to create a cleaner and greener future,” he added.
