In a notable insider transaction, Kedar Vaze, promoter and Group CEO of S H Kelkar & Company Ltd, has sold 846,424 equity shares of the fragrance and flavour major, according to recent exchange disclosures. The move has sparked curiosity across market circles, given the company’s recent stock performance and strategic positioning.
 
The sale, executed via open market transactions, comes amid a broader reshuffling of promoter holdings. While the exact rationale remains undisclosed, such sizable offloading often signals portfolio rebalancing or liquidity generation. Vaze had previously increased his stake during market dips, suggesting a tactical approach to equity management.
 
Key Highlights:
  • The transaction represents a significant chunk of promoter holding, though the family retains a controlling stake of over 55%.
  • SH Kelkar’s stock has seen a 28% rise over the past month, trading near ₹246 as of June 10, 2025.
  • The company’s market cap stands at ₹3,251 crore, with a 52week high of ₹336.25.
  • Past strategic moves include Blackstone’s exit and Firmenich’s entry as a stakeholder, reinforcing SH Kelkar’s global ambitions.
While the selloff may raise eyebrows, analysts suggest it’s unlikely to impact longterm fundamentals. The company continues to expand its international footprint and innovate across its product lines, keeping investor sentiment largely intact.
