Aarey Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd disclosed that its promoter group converted convertible warrants into 2,520,000 equity shares on September 30, 2026. The allotment, valued at approximately ₹1.21 crore, marks a shift in the holding structure of seven key promoter entities.
The transaction was executed under the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, pursuant to Regulation 7(2)(b). Additionally, disclosures were made under Regulation 29(2) read with Regulation 29(3) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The disclosures were submitted to the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE Limited on October 3, 2026. The conversions involved multiple members of the Ghatalia family, including Bina Rajesh Ghatalia, Mihir Rajesh Ghatalia, and Nimit Rajesh Ghatalia.
Promoter holding changes
The conversion resulted in a net increase in the number of equity shares held by the promoter group, while their convertible warrant holdings decreased correspondingly. The table below details the specific changes for each promoter entity:
| Promoter Name | Shares Before | Warrants Converted | Shares After | Value (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bina Rajesh Ghatalia | 4,003,584 | 500,000 | 4,503,584 | 2,39,25,000 |
| Mihir Rajesh Ghatalia | 2,835,888 | 345,000 | 3,180,888 | 1,65,08,250 |
| Nimit Rajesh Ghatalia | 1,150,000 | 500,000 | 1,650,000 | 2,39,25,000 |
| Mira Mihir Ghatalia | 690,000 | 250,000 | 940,000 | 1,19,62,500 |
| Ekta Nimit Ghatalia | 0 | 500,000 | 500,000 | 2,39,25,000 |
| Mihir Rajesh Ghatalia (HUF) | 0 | 245,000 | 245,000 | 1,17,23,250 |
| Rajesh Pranlal Ghatalia | 2,971 | 180,000 | 182,971 | 86,13,000 |
Consolidated promoter group stake
Following the allotment, the total shareholding of the promoter and promoter group entities increased to 13,212,443 shares, representing 41.45% of the total voting capital. This is an increase from the pre-conversion holding of 10,692,442 shares (37.71%). The equity share capital of the company rose from 28,354,303 to 30,724,303 shares post-allotment, with a diluted capital of 33,354,303 shares.
| Entity Category | Pre-Conversion Shares | Post-Conversion Shares | Pre-Conv % | Post-Conv % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual Promoters | 8,682,443 | 11,202,443 | 30.62% | 36.46% |
| Corporate Promoter Group | 2,010,000 | 2,010,000 | 7.09% | 6.54% |
| Total Promoter Group | 10,692,442 | 13,212,443 | 37.71% | 41.45% |
What the numbers show
The aggregate value of the allotted shares stands at ₹1,20,58,250. A notable divergence appears in the percentage shareholding figures for two individuals: Mihir Rajesh Ghatalia’s stake dipped from 10.00% to 9.98%, while Mira Mihir Ghatalia’s holding rose from 2.43% to 2.95%. This indicates that while the absolute number of shares increased for both, the dilution effect from the total outstanding share capital impacted the percentage metrics differently for each entity. Additionally, Ekta Nimit Ghatalia and the HUF entity moved from holding only warrants to holding equity shares, diversifying the nature of their assets within the company. The consolidated promoter stake crossing the 40% threshold reinforces control stability despite the dilution of individual percentage holdings due to the new issuance.
