Inter State Oil Carrier Limited promoter and Managing Director Sanjay Jain increased his personal shareholding by acquiring 1,66,454 equity shares, representing 3.33% of the total paid-up capital. The acquisition was executed via off-market transfers by way of gift on September 23, 2026.

This transaction raises Jain's total holding to 10,47,936 equity shares, constituting approximately 20.99% of the company's paid-up share capital. The disclosure was filed with the BSE under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

Details of the Acquisition

The shares were transferred from two individuals acting in concert with the promoter group. A key component of this transfer involved Mrs. Gunmala Devi Jain, who gifted her entire holding to her son. The breakdown of the gift transfer is as follows:

The total equity share capital of Inter State Oil Carrier remains unchanged at ₹4,99,23,000, comprising 49,92,300 equity shares of ₹10 each. The acquisition did not involve any cash consideration as it was a transfer by way of gift.

Shareholding Pattern Shift

Prior to this transaction, Sanjay Jain held 8,81,482 equity shares, accounting for 17.66% of the paid-up capital. The receipt of gifted shares has consolidated his position within the promoter group, which also includes Sunita Jain, Gunmala Devi Jain, Shanti Lal Jain, Siddhant Jain, and Amann Jain.

Notably, following the disposal of 1,12,045 shares by way of gift, Gunmala Devi Jain's total shareholding in the company has become Nil. This specific disclosure confirms the complete exit of one promoter family member from direct ownership, transferring their entire stake to the Managing Director.

What the Numbers Show

The shift in ownership from Gunmala Devi Jain and Shanti Lal Jain to Sanjay Jain represents an internal consolidation of promoter holdings rather than an external market purchase. Since both donors are listed as Persons Acting in Concert (PAC) with the acquirer, this move centralizes voting power with the Managing Director without altering the overall promoter group's aggregate stake in the company.

The exit of Gunmala Devi Jain reduces the number of individual promoters holding direct equity, concentrating control further with Sanjay Jain. While the aggregate promoter holding remains stable, the structural change simplifies the promoter group's composition.

Inter State Oil Carrier Limited shareholders approved the reappointment of Siddhant Jain as Whole-time Director for a three-year term commencing on May 2, 2027. However, the company failed to secure approval for the revision of Managing Director Sanjay Jain’s remuneration or related-party transactions at its 42nd Annual General Meeting held on September 14, 2026.

Similarly, the ordinary resolution for related-party transactions was rejected with only 13.23% in favor.
