Antariksh Industries faces a mandatory open offer from Alpitkumar Pravinchandra Gor and Riddhi Infocom Solutions LLP to acquire a controlling stake. The acquirers aim to purchase up to 6,31,785 equity shares, representing 26% of the emerging voting share capital, at an offer price of ₹86 per share.

The tendering period for the open offer runs from September 2, 2026, to September 16, 2026. The total maximum consideration for the offer is ₹5,43,33,510. The acquirers have deposited ₹165 lakh in a cash escrow account with Axis Bank Limited, covering approximately 30.36% of the maximum obligation.

Transaction Structure

The open offer follows a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) dated June 26, 2026, where the acquirers purchased 1,50,599 shares (6.20% stake) from the existing promoter, Mrs. Gitaben Nitinbhai Patel. Concurrently, the target company approved a preferential allotment of 22,25,000 shares to the acquirers and non-promoters at the same price of ₹86 per share.

Upon completion of the open offer and assuming full acceptance, the acquirers will hold 21,95,934 shares, representing 90.37% of the emerging voting share capital. The existing promoter will cease to be classified as a promoter and will be reclassified as a public shareholder.

Offer Price Justification

The offer price of ₹86 per share is justified under Regulation 8(2) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011, based on the negotiated SPA price and the preferential issue price. This represents a significant premium over the volume-weighted average market price of ₹2.48 per share for the 60 trading days preceding the public announcement.

Financial Performance

Antariksh Industries reported a sharp decline in revenue for FY26 compared to the previous year. Total revenue fell to ₹516.66 lakh in FY26 from ₹4,379.16 lakh in FY25. Net profit also contracted significantly to ₹6.15 lakh in FY26, down from ₹55.03 lakh in FY25.

What the Numbers Show

The company's balance sheet indicates a substantial reduction in liabilities alongside the revenue decline. Trade payables dropped drastically to ₹1.03 lakh in FY26 from ₹547.09 lakh in FY25. This suggests a winding down of trading activities or settlement of prior obligations. Cash and cash equivalents increased to ₹18.03 lakh in FY26 from ₹2.13 lakh in FY25, improving liquidity despite lower operational income.
