Shares of penny stock Murae Organisor hit its upper circuit on Monday, May 12, hitting the upper circuit in intra-day trade after the company’s board approved a major expansion plan involving land acquisition and investment of up to ₹250 million. The strategic move is aimed at boosting its agricultural and industrial footprint, with a focus on high-value pomegranate cultivation and establishing a distillery unit in Gujarat.
Board Approves Land Acquisition, Distillery Plans
In an exchange filing, the company stated that its board has approved a proposal—subject to satisfactory due diligence, regulatory approvals, and statutory clearances—to explore the acquisition of agricultural land in Kutch, Gujarat. The move is part of a larger initiative to diversify and strengthen its revenue streams by tapping into agribusiness and value-added industrial products.
The land is proposed to be used for the cultivation of premium-quality pomegranates, leveraging the region’s favorable agro-climatic conditions. Alongside this agricultural initiative, Murae Organisor plans to set up a distillery facility on the site to improve operational efficiency and expand into new business segments.
The company noted that the estimated investment for this initiative is between ₹200 million and ₹250 million. However, the final investment figure will be determined after a detailed due diligence process, feasibility reports, and securing of all required statutory and governmental approvals.
Murae Organisor emphasized that the proposed project aligns with several government schemes such as the “National Horticulture Mission,” “Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY),” and the “Gujarat Industrial Policy 2020.” These policies support agricultural and industrial development through subsidies, tax benefits, and infrastructural assistance. The company believes that its new initiative could benefit from these frameworks, enabling long-term growth.
