Grasim Industries Limited has issued newspaper advertisements to inform shareholders about the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) special window for re-lodgement of physical share transfer requests. The advertisements were published in Business Standard (All India editions) in English and Nai Dunia (Indore Edition) in Hindi on 22nd April 2026, pursuant to SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/3750/2026 dated 30th January, 2026.

Special Window Details

SEBI had previously discontinued the transfer of physical shares from 1st April 2019. However, to facilitate investors, SEBI has opened another special window for one year from 5th February 2026 to 4th February 2027. This window allows for re-lodgement of physical share transfer requests that were originally submitted before 1st April 2019 but were returned due to deficiencies in documentation.

Eligibility Criteria

The eligibility for lodging requests under the current window depends on specific conditions related to the execution date of transfer deeds and availability of original security certificates.

Exclusions and Important Notes

Certain cases will not be considered under this special window:

• Cases involving disputes between transferor and transferee
• Securities that have been transferred to Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF)

All shares re-lodged during this period will be processed through the transfer-cum-demat route, meaning they will only be issued in dematerialised form after transfer. These shares will be subject to a lock-in period of one year.

Contact Information for Shareholders

Shareholders who missed the earlier deadline for re-lodgement of transfer deeds can contact the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent for assistance.

KYC Update and Dematerialization

The company strongly encourages shareholders holding shares in physical form to update their KYC details and convert their physical shares into dematerialised (electronic) form. Holding shares in dematerialised form offers multiple benefits and eliminates the risks associated with physical share certificates. The advertisement was signed by Neelabja Chakrabarty, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer (ACS-16075), and copies were sent to Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Citibank N.A. for their depositary and custodial services.

Grasim Industries has successfully dematerialised 60,611 equity shares during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, according to its compliance certificate filed with stock exchanges under Regulation 74(5) of SEBI Depositories Regulations. The process reflects the ongoing transition of physical shares to electronic form among the company's investor base.

Quarterly Dematerialisation Activity

The dematerialisation activity during Q4FY26 was processed through both major depositories in India. The company handled the conversion of physical share certificates to electronic form across NSDL and CDSL platforms.

NSDL processed the majority of dematerialisation requests with 41,946 shares, while CDSL handled 18,665 shares. No shares were rematerialised during the quarter, indicating a continued preference for electronic holdings.

Overall Dematerialisation Status

As of March 31, 2026, Grasim Industries reported total dematerialised shares of 67,74,34,039, which represents 99.54% of the company's total equity share capital. This high percentage demonstrates the widespread adoption of electronic share holding among the company's investor community.

Regulatory Compliance

The company confirmed that all securities received for dematerialisation during the quarter were properly verified and processed. Physical share certificates were mutilated and cancelled following due verification procedures, with the respective depositories being substituted as registered owners in the company's records. The dematerialised securities remain listed on the same stock exchanges where the original physical securities were traded.
