Wheels India announced the launch of a qualified institutional placement (QIP) on 24 September 2026, with the Fundraiser Committee approving the move at its Thursday meeting.

In that regulatory filing, the board sanctioned the issuance of up to 12.69 lakh shares, each with a face value of ₹10, at an issue price of ₹1,418 per unit, amounting to a total of ₹180 crore. This earlier approval set the groundwork for the current QIP, allowing the company to raise additional capital from qualified institutional buyers.
