Kajaria Ceramics plans to buy back up to 21.50 lakh equity shares at ₹1380 per share, totaling ₹296.70 crores. The buyback is conducted via tender offer and requires shareholder approval through postal ballot. E-voting begins May 24, 2026, and ends June 22, 2026.
A buyback of this size (₹296.70 crores) is significant for the company and its shareholders, potentially impacting share price and liquidity. However, it is not a transformative event for the industry.
The announcement of a share buyback is generally perceived positively by the market as it can increase earnings per share and signal management's confidence in the company's valuation.
Kajaria Ceramics Limited has announced a proposal for the buyback of up to 21.50 lakh equity shares, representing approximately 1.35% of its total paid-up equity capital as of March 31, 2026. The buyback will be conducted through the "Tender Offer" route at a price of ₹1380 per equity share. The aggregate amount for the buyback will not exceed ₹296.70 crores, excluding taxes and expenses.
This proposal was approved by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2026, and requires approval from shareholders via a special resolution through postal ballot. The buyback size is within the statutory limit of 25% of the company's aggregate paid-up capital and free reserves, based on the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026.
The remote e-voting period for the postal ballot will commence on May 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. IST and conclude on June 22, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST. The results of the voting will be announced on or before June 23, 2026. The company aims to optimize returns to shareholders and enhance overall shareholder value through this buyback. The promoter and members of the promoter group have expressed their intention not to participate in this buyback. A portion of the buyback, 15% of the number of shares to be bought back or as per the shareholding of small shareholders, whichever is higher, is reserved for small shareholders.
