LIC of India files substantial acquisition disclosure under SEBI takeover code for GIC Housing Finance

Regulatory 24 Jun 2026 · Filed / open· ✓ Verified

LIC of India has intimated the National Stock Exchange of India that it has received and filed a Regulation 29(2) disclosure under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. This regulation mandates that any person acquiring 5% or more of voting capital, or any deemed acquisition that triggers the threshold, must disclose the acquisition to the company and stock exchange within two trading days.

Why it mattersRegulation 29(2) filings are precursors to open offers or board-level restructuring; the disclosure obligation crystallises when a purchaser acquires 5% or crosses defined thresholds, requiring immediate exchange notice and public transparency - a critical gating event in any potential acquisition or capital restructure.
