Castor Investments discloses substantial acquisition of CESC Limited shares under SEBI takeover regulations

M&A / JV 22 Jun 2026 · Announced· ✓ Verified

Under SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations 2011, Regulation 31(4) requires disclosure when a party acquires 25% or more shares or voting rights. Castor Investments' filing to NSE confirms this threshold has been breached. The disclosure triggers mandatory due diligence on the acquiror's identity, source of funds, and compliance with open-offer norms. CESC Limited is a listed electricity distribution company; any change of control requires RBI/state regulator clearance under the Electricity Act 2003.

Why it mattersRegulation 31(4) disclosures are gating items for open offers; counsel must verify the exact shareholding % crossed, confirm the acquiror's identity and beneficials, and map the mandatory open-offer timeline and pricing formula under Regulation 38.
