Raymond's shares experienced a significant surge, jumping 22 percent in two trading sessions and hitting a fresh 52-week high of Rs 1,024.50 per share on the NSE.

The warrants will be allotted on a preferential basis through private placement to Minerva Ventures Fund, subject to the approval of the company's members and other applicable statutory and regulatory approvals.
