Bhavook Chandraprakash Tripathi, along with PACs BT Capital Managers Pvt Ltd and Brahm Precision Materials Pvt Ltd, acquired 96,00,020 equity shares (66.10%) of Virat Industries Ltd, taking his combined holding from 8.45% (12,27,250 shares) to 74.55% (1,08,27,270 shares). The acquisition was made mainly through a preferential allotment of 95,99,999 shares on May 23, 2025, with 21 additional shares picked up via an open offer to public shareholders. As a result, the acquirer and PACs have been reclassified as promoters of the company, and Virat Industries' total share capital expanded from 49,23,340 to 1,45,23,339 equity shares.
This is a control-changing transaction — the acquirer now holds over 74% of Virat Industries, making it a promoter-led company. Minority shareholders will see significant dilution from the preferential issue, and the acquirer's dominant stake means very low free float, which may reduce trading liquidity and increase the risk of further corporate actions.
