Agarwal Fortune India Limited Confirms Non-Applicability of SEBI Large Corporate Debt Disclosure Requirements
Agarwal Fortune India Limited has formally disclosed to BSE that it does not qualify as a 'Large Corporate' under SEBI's debt securities framework for FY 2026-27. While the company meets the listing requirement with equity shares on BSE, it fails to meet the ₹1,000.00 crore outstanding borrowings threshold and 'AA' credit rating criteria, thereby exempting it from mandatory initial disclosure obligations under the regulatory framework.

Agarwal Fortune India Limited has formally notified the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that it does not qualify as a "Large Corporate" under SEBI's framework for fund raising through debt securities issuance. The disclosure, submitted on April 16, 2026, clarifies that the company is exempt from initial disclosure requirements for the financial year 2026-27.
SEBI Framework Requirements
The SEBI circular SEBI/HO/DDHS/DDHS-RACPOD1/P/CIR/2023/172 dated October 19, 2023, as superseded by SEBI circular SEBI/HO/DDHS/CIR/P/2018/144 dated November 26, 2018, mandates that listed entities identified as "Large Corporates" must file an Initial Disclosure within 30 days from the beginning of the financial year.
The framework applies to listed entities (excluding Scheduled Commercial Banks) that meet three specific conditions as on the last day of the preceding financial year:
| Condition: | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Securities Listing | Have specified securities, debt securities, or non-convertible redeemable preference shares listed on recognised stock exchange |
| Outstanding Borrowings | Have outstanding long-term borrowings of ₹1,000.00 crore or more (excluding specified categories) |
| Credit Rating | Possess credit rating of "AA" or above for unsupported bank borrowings or plain vanilla bonds |
Company's Compliance Assessment
Agarwal Fortune India Limited, formerly known as Devki Leasing and Finance Limited, has conducted a comprehensive assessment of its position against these regulatory criteria. The company confirmed that while it meets the first condition through its equity shares listed on the BSE Stock Exchange, it does not satisfy the remaining two conditions.
| Parameter: | Company Status |
|---|---|
| Listed Securities | Meets requirement - equity shares listed on BSE |
| Outstanding Borrowings | Does not meet ₹1,000.00 crore threshold |
| Credit Rating | Does not meet "AA" or above requirement |
| Overall Classification | Not qualified as "Large Corporate" |
Regulatory Compliance and Documentation
The formal disclosure was addressed to the General Manager-Listing Department of BSE, referencing the company's script code 530765 and scrip name AGARWAL. The communication specifically cited Para 3.2 of the relevant SEBI circular and provided a detailed explanation of the company's non-compliance with the "Large Corporate" criteria.
Since the company does not qualify as a "Large Corporate" under the SEBI framework, the requirement for Initial Disclosure for financial year 2026-27 is not applicable to Agarwal Fortune India Limited. This exemption relieves the company from the mandatory disclosure obligations that would otherwise apply to entities meeting all three criteria.
The disclosure was digitally signed by Aditi Parmar, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer (Membership No. A37301), ensuring proper regulatory compliance and transparency with stakeholders regarding the company's status under current SEBI regulations.
