Open market acquisition by CMD Anil Kishorepuria lifts promoter holding in Regaal Resources Limited to 65.62 per cent, signaling strong confidence in India’s growing maize-processing sector

Regaal Resources Limited, a leading maize processing and starch derivatives manufacturer, has announced that its promoter and Chairperson & Managing Director, Anil Kishorepuria, has increased his shareholding in the company through open market transactions. According to regulatory filings submitted to the National Stock Exchange of India, Kishorepuria purchased a total of 9 lakh equity shares, raising his individual stake from 24.51 percent to 25.39 percent as of the week ended March 6, 2026.

The transactions involved the acquisition of 3.5 lakh shares followed by additional purchases of 4 lakh and 1.5 lakh shares. With this move, the overall promoter holding in the company has increased to 65.62 percent, reinforcing confidence in the company’s long-term growth strategy and operational trajectory.

The increased promoter investment reflects strong belief in the growth potential of India’s agro-processing and maize-based value-added products sector. Demand for maize derivatives continues to expand across industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, paper manufacturing and animal nutrition, positioning the company to benefit from rising industrial consumption and greater value addition in agriculture.

Commenting on the development, Kishorepuria said the Indian agro-processing sector is entering a strong growth phase driven by increasing domestic demand and expanding export opportunities. He noted that the company remains focused on strengthening operational capabilities and leveraging emerging market opportunities in maize-based specialty products.

Headquartered in Kolkata, Regaal Resources operates a large-scale maize wet milling facility with a processing capacity of around 825 tonnes per day. The company manufactures maize starch and a range of specialty derivatives used across multiple industrial applications and has steadily expanded its product portfolio to cater to both domestic and global markets.

The disclosure of the promoter’s share acquisition was made in accordance with Regulation 7(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, which requires promoters and key management personnel to report securities transactions exceeding the prescribed threshold within two trading days.

With stronger promoter ownership and growing demand for processed agricultural products, Regaal Resources continues to position itself as a key player in India’s evolving agro-processing landscape.
