Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd received trading approval from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE for 50,000 equity shares allotted to promoter Prakash Kacholia. The shares, issued upon warrant conversion, are scheduled to begin trading on September 28, 2026.

The allotment was executed on a preferential basis under Chapter V of the SEBI Issue and Capital Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2018. The regulatory clearance follows the conversion of warrants issued to Kacholia, one of the company's promoters.

Listing and lock-in details

The equity shares carry a face value of ₹10 each and were issued at a premium of ₹229.50. Distinctive numbers for the allotted shares range from 27330132 to 27380131. While trading commences on September 28, 2026, the shares remain subject to a mandatory lock-in period.

Regulatory compliance and implications

The approval was communicated via letters dated September 25, 2026, from both exchanges. NSE reference number NSE/LIST/57641 and BSE reference number LOD / PREF / VJ / 397/ 2026-2027 were cited in the filings. The company confirmed that the information has been hosted on its investor relations website in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015.

What the numbers show

The issuance involves a small volume of 50,000 shares relative to typical market float, indicating a targeted capital infusion or promoter holding adjustment rather than a broad public offering. The 18-month lock-in period, expiring March 28, 2028, ensures that this specific tranche of promoter-held equity remains illiquid for over a year, potentially signaling long-term alignment with company performance during this window.
