Misreported Share Deal: Ashish Kacholia’s Sale in One Company Filed Under Another

Investor Ashish Kacholia’s Shares Sold in Shaily Plastics Mistakenly Reported as BEW Engineering Deal

On October 10, 2024, BEW Engineering Limited made a formal request to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) regarding a misreported disclosure of Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers (SAST) deals on its platform. This misreporting has led to some confusion in the market as transactions meant for another company, Shaily Engineering Plastics Ltd., were mistakenly displayed under BEW Engineering Limited.

What Happened?

The issue came to light when BEW Engineering Limited received an email from Mr. Tamal Karmakar on October 9, 2024. The email pointed out that the SAST deals, which were related to the sale of shares by renowned investor Mr. Ashish Kacholia of Shaily Engineering Plastics Ltd. under SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011, were incorrectly displayed under BEW Engineering Limited on the NSE website. Notably, these transactions were executed between April 5, 2019, and September 17, 2024, a period during which BEW Engineering Limited had only recently been listed on the NSE SME Emerge Platform, starting from September 16, 2021.

Clarification from BEW Engineering Limited

BEW Engineering Limited has clarified that it has no connection to the aforementioned SAST deals and has requested the NSE to correct the error. The company has emphasized that the misreported information could lead to misunderstandings among its investors, creating unnecessary confusion in the market.

To resolve the issue, BEW Engineering Limited has requested both the investor responsible for the erroneous disclosure and the NSE to take corrective measures. They have also asked the NSE to promptly remove the incorrect files displayed under their SAST disclosure tab.
