Promoter Sarthak Sanghvi Shripal Sanghvi has increased his stake in Shanti Guru Industries to 6.63% of the voting capital following the acquisition of 1,71,000 equity shares. The open market purchases, valued at Rs.10 each, were executed between June 29 and July 31, 2026, bringing his total holding to 8,16,000 shares from a previous position of 6,45,000 shares which represented 5.24% of the voting capital.

The disclosure was filed with BSE Limited on July 31, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 29(1) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Sarthak Sanghvi, identified as part of the promoter group with DIN 10277570 and PAN FHQPS9426C, confirmed that all acquisitions occurred during non-trading window periods. The company’s total equity share capital remains unchanged at 1,23,10,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each.

Acquisition Details

The share purchases were spread across multiple dates over a one-month period. The largest single-day acquisition occurred on July 2, 2026, when 33,000 shares were bought. The subsequent transactions are detailed below:

Shareholding Structure

Prior to this acquisition, Sarthak Sanghvi held 6,45,000 shares, comprising 5.24% of the voting capital. This earlier holding was declared in a SEBI SAST filing on March 31, 2026. Following the recent additions, his total voting rights stand at 6.628% of the total diluted share capital. There are no encumbrances, pledges, or liens on these shares, nor are there any warrants or convertible securities held by the acquirer.

What the Numbers Show

The consistent accumulation of shares over a month suggests a deliberate strategy to consolidate promoter ownership rather than opportunistic trading. By acquiring shares exclusively during non-trading windows, the promoter adhered to insider trading regulations while steadily increasing control. The increase from 5.24% to 6.63% represents a significant relative growth in the promoter's stake, potentially signaling confidence in the company’s long-term prospects amidst stable total equity capital.

Shanti Guru Industries Limited reported a net profit of ₹1,123.22 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, reversing the net loss of ₹16.37 lakh recorded in the previous year. The turnaround was driven by exceptional gains, including a profit on the sale of land and a gain on the fair valuation of equity investments, which significantly bolstered the bottom line despite modest operational revenue.

The Board of Directors approved the audited financial results for the half-year and full year ended March 31, 2026, during a meeting held on May 27, 2026. The results were submitted under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Venkat and Rangaa LLP, the statutory auditors, provided an unmodified opinion on the standalone financial results.

Financial Performance

For the full year, total income surged to ₹1,507.84 lakh from ₹12.21 lakh in the prior year. Revenue from operations remained nominal at ₹22.64 lakh, while other income, which includes the exceptional gains, rose to ₹1,485.20 lakh. Total expenses for the year increased to ₹124.78 lakh from ₹28.53 lakh in FY25.

The half-year performance mirrored this trend, with a net profit of ₹1,146.00 lakh for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of ₹11.53 lakh in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Asset Position and Cash Flows

The company's net worth stood at ₹2,491.47 lakh as of March 31, 2026, up from ₹1,368.25 lakh a year earlier. Total assets increased to ₹2,795.42 lakh, largely due to a rise in investments to ₹1,688.88 lakh and cash and cash equivalents to ₹509.00 lakh.

Cash flow from operating activities was negative at ₹211.88 lakh, primarily due to working capital adjustments. However, investing activities provided a net cash inflow of ₹510.75 lakh, driven by the sale of tangible fixed assets and interest receipts.

Corporate Governance

During the meeting, the Board appointed Ms. Sunanda Jain of SSP Jain and Associates LLP as the internal auditor for FY27. A.K Jain & Associates was appointed as the secretarial auditor for the same period. The company noted that it is currently in the retail trade business and is in the process of setting up a manufacturing unit in the processed foods segment.
