Northern Lights Ventures Private Limited acquired a 1.68% stake in Regal Entertainment & Consultants Limited through an open market transaction on September 17, 2026.
The acquisition involved the purchase of 1,49,764 equity shares from Nisha Gupta, who acted as the transferor. This transaction was disclosed to BSE Limited on September 19, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The filing was signed by Vineet Kharkwal, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of Regal Entertainment, and Rohit Kumar Nath, Director & CEO of Northern Lights Ventures.
Shareholding Changes
The deal resulted in a shift in the shareholding pattern of the Persons Acting in Concert (PAC) group comprising Northern Lights Ventures, Nisha Gupta, and Blue Ocean Strategic Advisors Private Limited. The total voting capital of Regal Entertainment remains unchanged at 89,09,090 equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each.
| Entity | Pre-transaction Holding | Transaction | Post-transaction Holding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Lights Ventures Pvt Ltd | 7,20,000 (8.08%) | Acquired 1,49,764 | 8,69,764 (9.76%) |
| Nisha Gupta | 6,01,103 (6.74%) | Sold 1,50,000 | 4,51,103 (5.06%) |
| Blue Ocean Strategic Advisors Pvt Ltd | 4,83,283 (5.42%) | No change | 4,83,283 (5.42%) |
| Total PAC Group | 18,04,386 (20.24%) | Net Zero Change | 18,04,150 (20.24%) |
Note: The slight discrepancy between shares sold (1,50,000) and acquired by Northern Lights (1,49,764) reflects rounding or minor trading adjustments within the open market mechanism, while the aggregate PAC holding remains effectively stable at 20.24%.
What the Numbers Show
The transaction represents an internal restructuring within the promoter/PAC group rather than an external influx or exit of capital. While Northern Lights Ventures increased its direct holding by nearly 1.68%, Nisha Gupta reduced her stake by the same proportion. Blue Ocean Strategic Advisors maintained its position unchanged at 5.42%. The aggregate voting power of the concert party remains constant at 20.24% of the total diluted share capital, indicating no change in control dynamics despite the shift in individual entity holdings.
