What IDream Film Infrastructure announced

On 6 July 2026, IDream Film Infrastructure Company Ltd filed a disclosure with the Bombay Stock Exchange under Regulation 29(1) and 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

Regulation 29 (SAST) – a quick overview

Regulation 29 of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations mandates that any person or entity acquiring 5% or more of the voting share capital of a listed company must immediately disclose the acquisition to the stock exchange. The purpose is to ensure transparency for investors and to trigger any mandatory takeover or open‑offer obligations if the threshold is crossed.

Key points of the regulation include:

• Immediate filing of a disclosure within two trading days of acquisition.
• Disclosure of the acquirer's identity, number of shares acquired, and percentage of total equity.
• Subsequent filings may be required if the shareholding crosses higher thresholds (e.g., 10%, 15%).
