The company said that it has received Rs 20-crore worth of equity infusion from its Japanese partner Mitsubishi Pencil.
Reacting to the news, shares of the company surged to the maximum possible level despite a weak market. On the BSE, the stock opened on a bullish note and hit the upper circuit limit of Rs 60.75.
As per the alliance agreement signed between the two firms, Linc Pen & Plastics will issue two million equity shares of Rs 10 each at Rs 100 a share to the Japanese firm worth Rs 20 crore.
