DCM Shriram Fine Chemicals Limited disclosed on August 17, 2026, that Mrs. Urvashi Tilakdhar will acquire a 3.52% equity stake in the company through an inter-family gift. The shares are being transferred from Mr. Akshay Dhar and Ms. Aditi Dhar, both immediate relatives and promoters of the firm. The proposed acquisition date is August 24, 2026.

The transfer involves a total of 30,53,531 equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each. Mr. Akshay Dhar is transferring 15,26,766 shares (1.76%), while Ms. Aditi Dhar is transferring 15,26,765 shares (1.76%). The consideration for this acquisition is nil, as it is classified as a gift out of love and affection among immediate relatives.

Shareholding Changes

Following the transaction, Mrs. Urvashi Tilakdhar’s individual holding will increase from 27.42% to 30.94%. The total shareholding of the promoter group remains unchanged at 50.11%, as the shares are merely being consolidated within the family structure. The volume-weighted average market price of the shares for the 60 trading days preceding the notice was ₹24.92 per share.

Regulatory Compliance

The acquisition is exempt from the requirement to make an open offer under Regulation 10(1)(a)(i) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. This exemption applies because the transfer is between promoters or persons acting in concert who are immediate relatives.

Mrs. Urvashi Tilakdhar has declared that all conditions specified under Regulation 10(1)(a) have been duly complied with. Both the transferors and the transferee have confirmed their compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements under Chapter V of the Takeover Regulations. The declaration was digitally signed by Mrs. Urvashi Tilakdhar on August 17, 2026.
