JTEKT India Fixes July 25, 2025, as Record Date for Rights Issue Entitlement

JTEKT India Limited, a publicly listed auto-component and bearing manufacturing company, has officially announced July 25, 2025, as the record date for its forthcoming rights issue of equity shares. The announcement was made pursuant to Regulation 42 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and was communicated to both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

This move follows the outcome of the board meeting held on 21st July 2025, during which the rights issue proposal was approved and finalized for shareholder action. The company is now preparing to move forward with offering existing shareholders the opportunity to subscribe to additional equity shares at a preferential rate.

Purpose of the Record Date

The record date, in this context, is used to determine the eligibility of shareholders to participate in the rights issue. All shareholders who hold shares of JTEKT India Limited on Friday, 25th July, 2025, will be eligible to receive Rights Entitlements (REs). These entitlements can later be:

• Used to apply for new shares under the rights issue

• Traded on stock exchanges (if the REs are listed)

What is a Rights Issue?

A rights issue is a mechanism through which companies raise additional capital from existing shareholders. It involves offering new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings, generally at a discounted price compared to the current market rate.

Key benefits of a rights issue include:

• Providing companies with growth capital without increasing debt

• Allowing existing shareholders to maintain their ownership stake

• Offering shares at a discounted rate as an incentive

For JTEKT India, this rights issue is expected to support future expansion, working capital needs, or potential investments in technology or capacity building.

Compliance with SEBI Regulations

The announcement complies with Regulation 42 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, which mandates listed companies to inform exchanges in advance of any record date set for actions like dividends, bonus issues, mergers, or rights issues.

By fixing and announcing the record date, JTEKT India Limited ensures transparency and gives investors adequate time to:

• Review their holdings

• Decide on buying more shares before the record date if they wish to participate

• Prepare for trading in rights entitlements, if applicable

Stakeholder Communication

As per the official communication from Mr. Saurabh Agrawal, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, the record date announcement has also been uploaded on the company’s official website — www.jtekt.co.in.

This ensures easy and quick access to vital corporate information for all stakeholders, including:

• Retail and institutional shareholders

• Stock market analysts

• Investment advisors

• SEBI and other regulators

Shareholder Action Items

If you are a shareholder of JTEKT India Limited or plan to be one before July 25, here's what you should consider:

• Ensure that your Demat account holdings reflect your JTEKT shares by July 25, 2025.

• Stay alert for official communications regarding the rights issue ratio, price per share, application dates, and listing of REs, if applicable.

• Review your investment objectives and consult your SEBI-registered financial advisor before applying.

Market Impact and Investor Sentiment

Rights issues are generally perceived positively by the market if the purpose of the fundraise is clear and strategic. They provide a signal that the company:

• Is seeking to grow organically or through strategic initiatives

• Wants to involve existing shareholders in its capital-raising journey

• Is being financially prudent by choosing equity over debt

Given that JTEKT India Limited has been consistently operating in the automotive component and bearing segment, such fund infusion could help the company upgrade its technology, improve plant efficiency, or reduce reliance on external borrowings.
