The Burman Group, in response to Gaekwad’s counterbid, clarified that the investor’s request to SEBI for an open offer is invalid under the SEBI Takeover Regulations. They highlighted that Gaekwad failed to make a competing bid within the 15-day window following their October 2023 announcement. The Burman Group’s ongoing open offer aims to acquire 26% of Religare’s equity, equivalent to 9,00,42,541 shares.
The Burman Group also criticised Religare Enterprises for disseminating Gaekwad’s proposal without proper diligence, suggesting that it could mislead shareholders regarding the status of the open offer.
The Religare Enterprises share price is expected to be influenced by the ongoing bidding dynamics. As of the latest updates, market analysts are closely watching developments in the Burman Group’s offer, which is set to conclude on 7 February 2025.

The evolving scenario keeps the Religare Enterprises share price under close watch, with shareholders awaiting clarity on SEBI’s stance and final outcomes.
