Sanstar's board approved raising ₹198.26 crore via a preferential issue of 1,80,24,157 equity shares at ₹110 per share (just above the SEBI floor price of ₹109) to Corn Products Development Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE-listed Ingredion Incorporated. The investor will acquire 9% of post-issue share capital and receive special rights including the right to appoint one non-independent director, affirmative voting rights, pre-emptive rights on future issuances, and information/consultation rights, subject to a 10-year lock-in. Concurrently, the board approved subscribing to 30% of a new joint venture, Spark Ingredients Private Limited, with Ingredion India holding 70%, for a cash consideration of ₹15 lakh, focused on specialty pharmaceutical and ingredient products. The authorized share capital will be increased from ₹38 crore to ₹50 crore. All resolutions are subject to shareholder approval via EGM on June 20, 2026.
A strategic investment by a global Fortune 500 ingredient company validates Sanstar's business model and could provide re-rating support. The 9% stake, board representation, and pre-emptive rights for Ingredion signal a long-term partnership rather than a one-time capital raise. The new JV diversifies Sanstar into specialty ingredients.
