Ramkrishna Forgings Ltd promoter Chaitanya Jalan increased his direct stake by acquiring 34,00,000 equity shares on September 24, 2026. The acquisition, executed through the conversion of warrants allotted earlier in the year, raised the promoter group's aggregate holding to 40.92% of the total share capital.
The transaction occurred pursuant to the exercise of conversion rights for warrants originally allotted to Jalan on January 14, 2026. This move falls under the provisions of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, and was disclosed under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.
Shareholding Structure Changes
Prior to this acquisition, Chaitanya Jalan held 30,47,900 shares, representing 1.67% of the total share capital. Following the allotment of the new shares, his individual holding rose to 64,47,900 shares, or 3.47% of the increased capital base. The total paid-up equity capital of the company expanded from 18,21,70,017 shares to 18,55,70,017 shares as a result of this preferential allotment.
The promoter group's aggregate stake, including Persons Acting in Concert (PACs) such as Riddhi Portfolio Private Limited and Naresh Jalan, saw a shift in percentage terms due to the dilution effect of the new issue against the absolute increase in holdings. Notably, Maa Chandi Financial Advisory Services Private Limited (formerly Ramkrishna Rail and Infrastructure Private Limited) was re-classified from the 'Promoter and Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category with effect from September 19, 2026.

What the Numbers Show
While Chaitanya Jalan’s individual stake nearly doubled from 1.67% to 3.47%, the broader promoter group’s holding percentage on a diluted basis moved from 39.09% to 40.92%. This indicates that the warrant conversion by the promoter added to the group's consolidated control position despite the increase in total outstanding shares. Encumbered shares held by Riddhi Portfolio Private Limited and Naresh Jalan remain constant at 1,10,00,000 and 13,00,000 respectively, suggesting no change in pledge positions during this period.
