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. The company has requested all stakeholders to note the new symbol and series details for future correspondence and compliance filings via the NSE Electronic Application Processing System (NEAPS).

Burnpur Cement Limited has submitted an application to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) seeking the reclassification of six key stakeholders from the 'Promoter/Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category. The application, filed on August 5, 2026, invokes Regulation 31A(8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This structural change in shareholding classification aims to align the regulatory status of these entities with their current role in the company’s capital structure, potentially impacting the firm's free float metrics.

The disclosure, made public on August 6, 2026, cites Regulation 30 read with Regulation 31A as the procedural basis for the request. The company is asking the exchange to review the categorization of specific shareholders who have historically been classified as promoters or part of the promoter group. This move is a standard compliance step for companies undergoing changes in promoter holding patterns or seeking to adjust their public float composition.

The reclassification request covers three individual promoters and three promoter group entities. The individuals seeking reclassification are Suchitra Agarwal, Ram Prasad Agarwal, and Manoj Kumar Agarwal, all currently listed as promoters. Additionally, Shakuntala Devi Agarwal is included in the list of promoters seeking the shift. On the entity side, Ram Prasad Agarwal (HUF) and Bharosa Distributors Pvt. Ltd., both currently classified under the promoter group, are also part of this review process.

Punam Kumari Sharma, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer at Burnpur Cement Limited, signed the intimation letter addressed to both the NSE and BSE Limited. The notice confirms that the application has been formally lodged with the exchanges for necessary scrutiny. No further details regarding the strategic rationale behind the reclassification or the expected timeline for approval were provided in the disclosure. The final decision rests with the stock exchanges following their review of the submission.
