Promoter Virendrabhai Ramchandra Gandhi transferred significant stakes in Vadilal Enterprises Limited (VEL) and Vadilal Industries Limited (VIL) to IVG Trust on August 21, 2026.

The off-market transfers were executed pursuant to SEBI Exemption Orders dated July 3, 2026. The disclosure was filed under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. There has been no change in the aggregate promoter or promoter group shareholding in either company.

Vadilal Industries Limited Acquisition

Mr. Gandhi contributed his entire direct shareholding of 2,66,565 shares (3.71%) in VIL to IVG Trust. Prior to this transfer, Mr. Gandhi had consolidated his individual holding to 3.71% through gifts and absorption of joint holdings on August 17, 2026.

The total equity share capital of VIL remains at 71,87,830 equity shares of ₹10 each, aggregating to ₹7,18,78,300.

Vadilal Enterprises Limited Acquisition

In VEL, Mr. Gandhi transferred 91,777 shares (10.64%) to IVG Trust. He retains a residual direct holding of 966 shares (0.11%). This follows his earlier consolidation of his VEL stake to 10.75% on August 17, 2026.

The total equity share capital of VEL is 8,62,668 equity shares of ₹10 each, aggregating to ₹86,26,680.

What the Numbers Show

The sequential transactions highlight a structured consolidation of promoter interests into a trust vehicle. By transferring shares first to Mr. Gandhi individually and then to IVG Trust, the promoter group has centralized voting rights without altering the aggregate promoter holding percentage. This structure may facilitate streamlined governance and succession planning within the promoter family.
