Impact Assessment
This delisting offer has a limited and targeted market impact. It concerns only 2,26,250 publicly held equity shares (~26.62% of IFPEL’s equity capital) at a floor price of Rs. 533.76 per share, aggregating up to Rs. 12.07 Crores. Since IFPEL is exclusively listed on The Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) and not on BSE, the notice is primarily informational for BSE trading members and custodians. Public shareholders of IFPEL wishing to participate in the delisting must tender their shares through the Reverse Book-Building Process within the specified window.
Impact Justification
Company-specific voluntary delisting notice affecting only holders of IFPEL equity shares; the company is listed on CSE (not BSE), so BSE is providing informational notice to its members. Impact is limited to ~2.26 lakh public-held shares at a floor price of Rs. 533.76 per share (total ~Rs. 12.07 Cr).
