Rights Entitlements (RE) Listing- February 2026

Whenever a company announces a rights issue, it gives its existing shareholders a chance to buy additional shares - usually at a price lower than the prevailing market price - in proportion to their current holdings. If you are eligible on the record date, you receive rights entitlements (REs) directly in your demat account. These REs are temporary securities. They give you the right to apply for additional shares- but not the obligation. You can also sell them in the market during the trading window.

Below is the list of Rights Entitlements (REs) launched in February 2026:

What are rights entitlements (REs)?

A rights entitlement (RE) is a short-term instrument issued to existing shareholders when a company launches a rights issue.

Here’s what that means for you:

• REs are credited directly to your demat account.

• They represent your eligibility to buy additional shares at the issue price.

• They can be traded on the stock exchange during a limited window.

• If not used or sold before the deadline, they automatically expire.

In simple terms, REs give you flexibility — participate, sell, or let them go.

What can you do with your REs?

If REs are credited to your account, you have three clear options:

• Apply for the rights shares: You can use your REs to subscribe to additional shares at the price announced by the company.
• Sell the REs on the exchange: If you don’t want to invest further, you can sell your REs in the open market during the trading period.
• Take no action: If you neither apply nor sell within the timeline, the REs will expire and become worthless after the closing date.

Quick example

Let’s say a company announces:

• Issue ratio: 1 share for every 5 shares held

• Issue price: ₹64 per share

• Current market price: ₹118 per share

If you hold 50 shares, you may receive 10 REs (based on eligibility).

You can:

• Apply for 10 shares at ₹64 each,

• Sell the 10 REs in the market, or

• Let them lapse if you don’t act before the deadline.

Final takeaway

Rights entitlements are designed to give existing shareholders a fair opportunity to maintain or increase their ownership at a preferential price. They also offer flexibility - you can monetize them if you choose not to participate.
