SEBI Alleges Fund Rotation Scheme Behind Dhenu Buildcon’s Market Cap Surge
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) alleges that Dhenu Buildcon Infra Ltd used a network of connected entities to circulate a base amount of Rs 25 crore repeatedly, creating the appearance of Rs 1,000 crore in unsecured loans. These loans were later converted into Rs 840 crore equity through preferential allotment, despite the company’s minimal business activity and revenue. SEBI's interim order highlights suspicious fund rotation and links among entities, leading to restrictions as investigations continue.
