Bajaj Consumer Care's board, meeting on July 24, 2025, approved two key proposals. First, a buyback of up to 64.34 lakh fully paid-up equity shares (4.69% of total paid-up capital) at ₹290 per share, for a maximum aggregate value of ₹186.6 crores, to be executed via the tender offer route through stock exchanges, subject to shareholder approval by postal ballot. The promoter and promoter group have stated their intention not to participate in the buyback. Second, the board approved a scheme of arrangement to demerge the Manufacturing and Distribution Business of its wholly-owned subsidiary Vishal Personal Care Limited (VPCL) into Bajaj Consumer Care, under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013, subject to NCLT approval. The demerged undertaking contributed ₹52.5 crore in turnover, which is about 5.57% of BCCL's standalone turnover and 99.23% of VPCL's turnover. Anand Rathi Advisors has been appointed as manager to the buyback, and no equity shares will be issued as part of the demerger, so shareholding pattern will remain unchanged.
The buyback at ₹290 per share offers a price support signal and returns surplus cash to public shareholders, though promoter non-participation means they will not tender their 40.95% stake. The demerger consolidates VPCL's manufacturing operations into BCCL with no share issuance, aiming for operational synergies and cost savings, which could improve efficiency over time.
