Transport Corporation of India Limited approved a ₹150 crore share buyback at ₹960 per share, representing 2.03% of its equity capital. The company will also incorporate a wholly-owned subsidiary in China with an investment of up to USD 2 Million. October 9, 2026, is the record date for the buyback.
A share buyback directly impacts share price and returns capital to shareholders. The establishment of a foreign subsidiary signifies strategic growth and international expansion, which can have a substantial long-term impact on the company's business and financial performance.
The company has approved a significant share buyback and is expanding its international presence by incorporating a subsidiary in China, both of which are generally viewed positively by the market.
Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCI) announced a significant decision from its Board of Directors meeting held on September 29, 2026. The Board has approved a proposal to buyback up to 1,562,500 equity shares, representing approximately 2.03% of the company's total paid-up equity share capital. The buyback will be conducted at a price of ₹960 per equity share, for an aggregate amount not exceeding ₹150 crore (1,500,000,000). This buyback size constitutes 6.76% and 6.15% of the company's paid-up equity share capital and free reserves as of March 31, 2026, on a standalone and consolidated basis, respectively. The buyback will be executed through the tender offer route, excluding promoters and the promoter group.
In addition to the buyback, TCI also approved the incorporation of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) in the People's Republic of China. This strategic move aligns with the company's objective to expand its international logistics network. The proposed WOS will undertake logistics and supply chain activities, aiming to develop an integrated India-China-Far East logistics corridor. The financial commitment for this subsidiary is up to USD 2 Million (approximately ₹16.6 crore), which may be made in tranches. The company has also formed a Buyback Committee to oversee the buyback process.
The Board has set October 9, 2026, as the record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for the buyback. Promoters and the promoter group have expressed their intention not to participate in the buyback. The meeting commenced at 11:15 AM and concluded at 1:30 PM on September 29, 2026.
