Post-acquisition, Madhav Bansidhar Shriram and persons acting in concert will hold 43,590,115 shares, representing 50.11% of the total share capital, up from the current 44.77%.

Detailed Promoter Structure

The comprehensive promoter shareholding structure reveals a well-distributed family holding pattern across multiple entities:

Regulatory Compliance

The transaction qualifies for exemption from open offer requirements under Regulation 10(1)(a)(i) of SEBI Takeover Regulations, 2011, as it constitutes an inter-se transfer between immediate relatives. The company has confirmed compliance with all applicable disclosure requirements under Chapter V of the Takeover Regulations.

Notably, the volume weighted average market price calculation is not applicable as the company was listed on the exchange only on February 17, 2026. Since the transfer is being conducted as a gift at nil consideration, standard pricing benchmarks do not apply to this transaction.

Strategic Implications

This consolidation move strengthens the promoter group's control over DCM Shriram Fine Chemicals, bringing their collective shareholding to the 50.11% threshold. The transaction demonstrates the promoter family's continued commitment to maintaining strategic control and long-term involvement in the company's growth prospects.
