Transport Corporation of India said its board will meet on September 29 to consider a proposal to buy back fully paid-up equity shares, following which the company's shares surged up to 14% on Friday.
Transport Corporation of India share price surged as much as 14% on Friday, September 25, after the logistics company announced that its board will meet next week to consider a proposal for a share buyback. The stock's sharp move came after the company disclosed the September 29 board meeting to the exchanges.
The proposed buyback is expected to be the key focus of the upcoming meeting, although Transport Corporation of India has not yet disclosed the size of the offer, the proposed buyback price or the number of shares that could be acquired. These details will be known only after the board considers the proposal.
The announcement triggered strong buying interest in TCI shares during Friday's session, putting the stock in focus after a relatively subdued period of trading. The company said the board meeting on September 29 will consider the proposal along with other business items, if applicable.
Transport Corporation of India Buyback Proposal
The board of Transport Corporation of India will meet on September 29 to consider a proposal to buy back fully paid-up equity shares of the company. The announcement does not amount to an approval of the buyback, as the proposal is yet to be considered by the board.
The company has also not announced whether the proposed transaction would be carried out through the tender offer route or disclosed the maximum amount that could be spent on the buyback. Details such as the number of shares, buyback price and record date would depend on the board's decision and subsequent regulatory processes.
Transport Corporation of India has undertaken buybacks in the past. In 2024, the company had approved a buyback of up to 13.33 lakh shares at ₹1,200 apiece, involving an aggregate amount of up to ₹160 crore.
TCI Share Price Rises After Board Meeting Announcement
The sharp rise in TCI shares on Friday followed the company's disclosure about the proposed buyback. Investors typically track buyback announcements for details on the offer price, size and the proportion of outstanding shares that may be purchased.
However, none of those terms have been finalised in the latest announcement. The September 29 board meeting will therefore be important for determining whether the proposal is approved and, if so, what terms are attached to it.
The stock's Friday move also comes ahead of the board decision, making the September 29 meeting the next key corporate event for Transport Corporation of India.
