Taj GVK Hotels & Resorts has filed an application with the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd seeking approval to reclassify The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) from the 'promoter and promoter group' category to the 'public' category. The application was submitted on August 5, 2026, following the board of directors' approval at a meeting held on July 31, 2026.

This corporate action formalizes IHCL's complete exit from the company's shareholding pattern. The reclassification request was initially communicated via a letter received by Taj GVK Hotels on July 29, 2026, continuing disclosures made in December 2025 regarding the transfer of shares.

Shareholding Changes

IHCL sold 1,60,00,400 equity shares, representing 25.52% of the issued and paid-up equity share capital, through an off-market transfer on December 30, 2025. Consequently, IHCL no longer holds any equity shares in Taj GVK Hotels & Resorts, necessitating the change in its regulatory classification.

Regulatory Compliance

The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The reclassification is being processed in accordance with Regulation 31A of the Listing Regulations, read with SEBI's Master Circular dated November 11, 2024. The company has now filed the necessary application with the stock exchanges to finalize this transition.

Taj GVK Hotels & Resorts has confirmed the completion of dispatch for its 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) notices through newspaper advertisements published on August 15, 2026. The company informed the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd regarding the publication in Business Standard (English) and Andhra Prabha (Telugu). This disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 and Regulation 47, read with Schedule II of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The advertisements reiterate that the AGM is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 11:00 am. The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing and Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM), allowing shareholders to participate remotely.
