Bawany Air Products Limited has significantly increased its authorized share capital to Rs. 12.1 billion, up from the previous Rs. 11 billion, following approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
The company issued a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Monday, detailing the increase and confirming that it had filed the relevant Form 7 with the SECP.
The notice, signed by the company secretary, was dated September 14, 2026, marking a significant shift in the company's business strategy.
Originally engaged in the production and trading of oxygen, dissolved acetylene, and nitrogen gas, Bawany Air Products suspended these operations in 2013 due to a major plant breakdown.
In recent years, the company has shifted its focus to investing in and dealing in shares, stocks, debentures, bonds, and other securities, aligning with broader restructuring and revival strategies.
One of the company's recent initiatives includes efforts to acquire Alman Seyyam Sugar Mills through the issuance of new shares, part of its broader business transformation.
This capital increase is expected to bolster the company's financial position and enhance its ability to pursue new investment opportunities and strategic acquisitions.
The move reflects Bawany Air Products' strategic shift towards a more diversified and securities-focused business model, aimed at long-term growth and stability.
