  • Regulation 34(1): Delisted company, its whole-time directors, compliance persons, promoters, and promoted companies are barred from accessing securities markets or seeking listing of equity shares, or acting as intermediaries for 10 years from the date of delisting
  • Regulation 34(2): For companies with positive fair value, promoters/promoter group shares are frozen (no transfer by sale, pledge, etc.) and corporate benefits (dividend, rights, bonus, split) are frozen until an exit option is provided to public shareholders per Regulation 33(4)
  • Regulation 33(4): Promoters must provide a compliant exit option to public shareholders as certified by the recognized stock exchange

Compliance Requirements

  • Promoters: Must purchase shares from public shareholders at fair value as determined by an independent valuer; must provide exit option to public shareholders before any freeze on corporate benefits is lifted
  • Promoters, whole-time directors, compliance persons: Barred from becoming directors of any listed company until exit option is provided
  • Company and depositories: Must not effect any transfer (sale, pledge, etc.) of equity shares held by promoters/promoter group until exit option compliance is certified

Impact Assessment

Public shareholders of Sai Industries Ltd (530905) will lose the ability to trade shares on BSE from March 16, 2026. They are entitled to an exit option from promoters at a fair value to be determined by an independent valuer. Promoters and directors face severe long-term restrictions including a 10-year bar from securities markets and ineligibility for directorships in listed companies until exit obligations are fulfilled. The company’s transfer to the Dissemination Board provides a limited platform for off-market transactions but removes normal exchange trading access.

Impact Justification

Compulsory delisting directly terminates trading in the company's securities and imposes significant regulatory consequences on promoters, directors, and related parties for up to 10 years.
