Burnpur Cement Limited equity shares will resume trading on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited starting August 11, 2026, following the implementation of an 80% reduction in share capital. The listing approval covers 17,224,873 equity shares of ₹10 each, reflecting the final structure after consolidation under a resolution plan approved by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on October 30, 2024. This development marks a critical step in the company's corporate restructuring, allowing shareholders to trade their holdings in the post-reduction capital structure.

The company received formal trading approvals from both exchanges on August 7, 2026. The National Stock Exchange of India Limited issued notice number NSE/LIST/C/2026/0876, while BSE Limited issued notice number 20260807-26. These approvals were granted pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company disclosed these developments through its Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Punam Kumari Sharma, intimating the exchanges to disseminate the information to market participants.

The capital reduction scheme significantly alters the company's equity base. The entire issued and paid-up equity share capital was reduced by 80% on a proportionate basis. Initially, the paid-up value of each equity share was reduced from ₹10 to ₹2. Subsequently, five equity shares of ₹2 each were consolidated into one equity share of ₹10 each, fully paid-up. Consequently, the issued, subscribed, and paid-up share capital decreased from ₹86,12,43,630 comprising 8,61,24,363 equity shares of ₹10 each to ₹17,22,48,730 comprising 1,72,24,873 equity shares of ₹10 each.

Trading conditions for the resumption include specific regulatory safeguards. The scrip will be placed in the Trade-for-Trade segment for 10 trading days, as per SEBI circulars CIR/MRD/DP/02/2012 dated January 20, 2012, and SEBI/HO/MRD-TPD1/CIR/P/2023/55 dated April 11, 2023. Additionally, the security will participate in the special pre-open session for IPO and other categories of scrips, in accordance with SEBI circulars CIR/MRD/DP/01/2012 and CIR/MRD/DP/02/2012. Market participants are advised to exercise caution, as equity shares allotted in dematerialized mode have been credited under a temporary ISIN pending activation of the new ISIN INE817H01022.

The record date for giving effect to the reduction of share capital was fixed as January 30, 2025, as per Exchange Notice No. 20250124-47 dated January 24, 2025. The distinctive numbers for the new shares range from 1 to 17,224,873. There is no lock-in period applicable to these securities.
