The read

BSE has set 17 July 2026 as the record date for the NCLT-approved amalgamation of J.B. Chemicals into Torrent Pharma. From that date, J.B. Chemicals shares will be suspended permanently. The swap ratio is 51 Torrent shares of ₹5 each for every 100 J.B. Chemicals shares of ₹1 each. This is a straightforward merger: J.B. Chemicals ceases to exist as a listed entity, and its holders become Torrent shareholders automatically. No action is required from them, but they must account for the delisting in their portfolios.
