Times Horizon Private Limited (THPL) acquired 71.15 percent voting rights in Entertainment Network (India) Limited (ENIL) from Bennett, Coleman and Company Limited (BCCL). The transfer happened through a composite scheme of arrangement approved by NCLT Mumbai on 4 February 2026 and effective 1 September 2026. BCCLs non publishing business, including its ENIL stake, was demerged into THPL. THPL issued 1 share for every 1 BCCL share held by shareholders. THPL is now the promoter of ENIL, with SPL, AUL, TMIL, Vineet Jain and BNL as persons acting in concert. The acquisition qualifies for exemption from open offer under Regulation 10(1)(d)(iii).
Promoter entity changes from BCCL to THPL. No open offer triggered due to exemption. Shareholding structure shifts but day to day operations remain unaffected.
