Grand Foundry Limited has submitted a disclosure to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India regarding the reclassification of a promoter to the public category. This change follows the completion of an open offer made by Mr. Rakesh Kumar Bansal and Mr. Gaurav Goyal under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The open offer was completed on 5th January 2026.

Reclassification Details

Pursuant to Regulation 31A(10) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, Ms. Madhu Garg has ceased to be classified as a Promoter/Promoter Group member. She will henceforth be classified under the “Public” category. This reclassification was disclosed in the Letter of Offer dated 27th October 2025.

Share Transfer Details

The outgoing promoter transferred their entire shareholding through off-market transactions pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) dated 26th June 2025. The transfer details are as follows:

Name of the Promoter Holding before Transfer No. of Shares Transferred Holding after Transfer Name of The Acquirer Date of Transfer
Madhu Garg 21350360 4270072 17080288 Rakesh Kumar Bansal 31st December, 2025
Madhu Garg 17080288 17080288 0 Gaurav Goyal 2nd January, 2026

Regulatory Compliance

Grand Foundry Limited confirmed that the outgoing promoter does not exercise control over the company and that all special rights available to them have been terminated. The company stated that it has complied with the conditions prescribed under Regulation 31A(3)(b) & (c) of the SEBI LODR Regulations. The disclosure was signed by Sonia Arora, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, on 15th May 2026.

Given Grand Foundry's consistently negative net worth and zero manufacturing activity, what turnaround strategy are new promoters Rakesh Kumar Bansal and Gaurav Goyal likely to implement to restore the company's operational viability?

With acquirers collectively holding 96.16% of Grand Foundry's shares post-offer, how might the extremely low public float of 3.84% impact the stock's liquidity and trading volumes on BSE and NSE going forward?

Could the new promoters face regulatory scrutiny or minority shareholder concerns given that the open offer price of Rs. 2/- per share was significantly higher than the SPA acquisition price of Rs. 1.40/- per share, and how might this pricing differential influence future corporate governance practices?

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of FY26 stood at ₹10.14 lakhs, up from ₹0.36 lakhs at the end of FY25.

Corporate Developments and Ownership Changes

The company disclosed significant ownership changes during the period under review:

  • Share Purchase Agreement (June 26, 2025): Existing promoters acquired 2,13,50,260 equity shares, and a further 1,380 equity shares through an Open Offer dated July 3, 2025, at a price of ₹2 per equity share, aggregating their shareholding to 70.17%.
  • New Promoter Agreement (March 3, 2026): Existing promoters entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with SAR Televenture Limited for transfer of 2,13,51,740 equity shares, representing 70.17% of the total paid-up equity share capital.
  • Open Offer (March 16, 2026): SAR Televenture Limited made an Open Offer for acquisition of up to 79,11,800 equity shares at a price of ₹2.50 per equity share, representing 26% of the paid-up equity share capital. The acquisition and Open Offer process is expected to be completed by June 2026.

The company is engaged in the business of telecom and communication equipment, including cables, optical fiber systems, and networking hardware, and operates as a single reporting segment under Ind AS 108. The company's taxable income for FY26 has been adjusted against brought-forward business losses under the Income-tax Act, 1961, and accordingly, no provision for current tax has been made for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Trading Window of Grand Foundry Limited is set to open from May 10, 2026.

Will SAR Televenture Limited's acquisition of 70.17% stake and completion of the Open Offer by June 2026 trigger a strategic pivot in Grand Foundry's telecom equipment business, potentially attracting new contracts or partnerships?

Given that ₹1,242.02 lakhs in trade receivables represents over 93% of total assets, how might delayed collections impact the company's ability to sustain operations and service its ₹679.22 lakhs in non-current borrowings?

With all FY26 revenue concentrated entirely in Q4 and negative equity of ₹545.34 lakhs still on the books, can Grand Foundry demonstrate consistent quarter-on-quarter revenue generation in FY27 to validate its going concern assumption?
