The Reconciliation of Share Capital Audit Report, certified by Mr. Kamaljit Singh, Practicing Company Secretary, provides a comprehensive overview of DCM Shriram Industries' shareholding structure for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26. The report highlights that the company's issued and listed capital are identical, both comprising 86,992,185 equity shares, each with a face value of ₹2. This consistency between issued and listed capital underscores robust internal record-keeping and compliance.
A key takeaway from the report is the high proportion of shares held in dematerialized form. Out of the total capital, 74,214,602 shares, representing 85.31%, are held with the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), while 11,568,033 shares, or 13.30%, are held with the Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). Cumulatively, 85,782,635 shares, or 98.61% of the total issued capital, are in dematerialized format. This high dematerialization rate is beneficial for investors, facilitating easier and faster trading, reducing risks associated with physical share certificates, and enhancing overall market liquidity. Only a small fraction, 1,209,550 shares (1.39%), remain in physical form.
The report explicitly states that there are no differences between the issued capital, listed capital, and the total number of shares accounted for (dematerialized plus physical), indicating a seamless reconciliation process. Furthermore, the company has confirmed that its Register of Members is updated, ensuring accurate and timely record-keeping of shareholder information.
