Ajanta Soya promoter Chander Kala Goyal has acquired an indirect stake in the company through a gift transaction involving a promoter group entity.

Goyal acquired 3,76,004 equity shares, representing 51.02% of the equity share capital of Cosmic Alloys and Metal Works Private Limited (CAMWPL). This acquisition grants Goyal more than 50% voting rights in CAMWPL.

Transaction Details

CAMWPL holds 90,00,000 equity shares, which represents 11.18% of the issued and paid-up equity share capital of Ajanta Soya Limited. The transfer was executed as an off-market inter-se acquisition of voting rights.

The transaction complies with Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. It also aligns with an SEBI Exemption Order dated July 30, 2026 (Ref: WTM/KCV/CFD/08/2026-27), which exempted Goyal from the requirements of Regulation 3 read with Regulation 5 regarding the indirect acquisition of shares and voting rights.

Shareholding Impact

There is no direct acquisition or transfer of Ajanta Soya shares by Goyal in this transaction. Consequently, the number of shares and voting rights held by CAMWPL in the target company remains unchanged. The total equity share capital of Ajanta Soya remains at ₹16,09,65,980, divided into 8,04,82,990 equity shares of ₹2 each.

The disclosure was filed with BSE Limited on September 17, 2026.

Ajanta Soya will hold its 35th Annual General Meeting on Monday, September 28, 2026, via video conferencing. The company has opened remote e-voting from September 25 to September 27.

Financial Performance Update

For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Ajanta Soya reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹837.53 crore, a significant decline from ₹2,714.56 crore in the previous year. Total income stood at ₹1,31,464.41 crore, compared to ₹1,33,849.22 crore in FY25.

The decline in profitability was primarily driven by increased total expenditure despite a marginal dip in revenue. The company's reserves and surplus increased to ₹14,575.88 crore from ₹13,738.35 crore in the previous year.
