1. Stock Market Conditions: If the stock market is bullish, companies prefer raising equity capital as shares can be sold more easily, often at a higher price.
2. Control: Issuing additional equity reduces the existing management’s holding in the company, potentially diluting control over business decisions.
3. Floatation Costs: Raising funds through equity involves significant costs such as underwriting fees, advertising, and compliance expenses.
4. Regulatory Framework: The company had to ensure compliance with SEBI guidelines while issuing shares.
