The draft papers, submitted to capital markets regulator Sebi in June, mentioned that Thomas resigned as CEO on March 23, with Pawar taking charge the following day, March 24.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is targeting to launch its much-awaited initial public offering (IPO), estimated at around Rs 30,000 crore, in September, people familiar with the development said on Monday. The mega IPO is expected to value the country's largest stock exchange at over Rs 5 lakh crore. The exchange will soon begin roadshows for the IPO. If successful, the issue will surpass Hyundai Motor India's Rs 27,870-crore public offering launched in October 2024. The proposed public issue will be entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 14.89 crore equity shares, with existing shareholders collectively divesting nearly 6 per cent of the exchange's equity, according to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) filed in June. NSE has around 1.8 lakh shareholders. Among the major shareholders selling their stake, State Bank of India will offload up to 2.48 crore shares, followed by MS Strategic (Mauritius) Ltd with 1.60 crore shares. Other shareholders proposing to sell shares includ
Fintech unicorn Moneyview and Chandan Steel have secured Sebi's approval to raise funds through initial public offerings (IPOs), an update with the regulator showed on Friday. Moneyview filed preliminary IPO papers with Sebi in March, while Torrent Gas confidentially submitted draft documents with the regulator in April. The confidential filing route allows companies to submit draft offer documents to Sebi for review without immediately making commercially sensitive information public. After reviewing the draft papers submitted by the two firms, the regulator gave its 'observations' between June 29 and July 2,which, in Sebi's parlance, is equivalent to a go-ahead to float the public issue. Meanwhile,oilfield services provider Shivganga Drillers withdrew its draft papers on June 30, the update showed. The company filed preliminary papers with Sebi in December 2025 to mobilise Rs 400 crore through its IPO. The proposed maiden public offering was a completely fresh issue of shares wi
Vedanta group's four demerged businesses are expected to list on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange on Monday, sources said. Besides Vedanta Ltd, which is already listed, the shares of four newly created entities --Vedanta Aluminium Metal (VAML), Vedanta Oil & Gas (VOGL), Vedanta Power and Vedanta Iron & Steel (VISL) -- will begin trading on Indian stock exchanges. The much-awaited demerger is likely to unlock substantial value for shareholders since each company will now operate independently and raise capital as per its business plans, while giving investors an opportunity to invest in a specific sector. Vedanta's demerger was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal in December last year. Under the 1:1 approved demerger scheme, shareholders will receive one share of each demerged company for every one share held in the currently listed Vedanta Ltd. During an investors' call after the fourth quarter financial results, Vedanta Resources CEO Deshnee ...
SP Group Chairman Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry on Friday again pressed for listing of Tata Sons, saying it is not merely a regulatory compliance but a necessary evolution in the public interest, reposing faith in the government and RBI to "act decisively" on the matter. In a statement, Mistry said the SP Group has "full faith in the government of India and the Reserve Bank of India to act decisively" on the matter of listing of Tata Sons -- the holding company of the coffee-to-cars-and-software conglomerate. So far, no clear evidence-based case has been presented to explain how a public listing would materially damage the interests of the Tata Trusts or reduce their ability to serve beneficiaries, he added. Mistry's comment comes amid reports that two of the trustees of Tata Trusts, Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh, have favoured public listing of Tata Sons. On the other hand, Tata Trust Chairman Noel Tata is against the move. "As I have stated earlier, we would like to reiterate that
