Core offering

STEL Holdings Limited is a publicly listed holding and investment company that holds equity stakes in group and other companies and operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Doon Dooars Plantations Limited, in the plantation business. The company generates revenue through dividends, interest, and capital gains from its investment portfolio, and reports regular financial results and SEBI-mandated disclosures to its shareholders.

Product overview

STEL Holdings Limited operates as a single holding/investment company rather than a platform with modular products. The company serves as an investment vehicle within the RPG and RPSG conglomerate, holding equity stakes in various companies (such as 18,850 equity shares of CEAT Ltd acquired in January 2026) and maintaining subsidiary operations in plantation businesses. The company does not offer distinct product lines, modules, or sub-brands—it functions purely as a holding and investment entity focused on capital appreciation and dividend income from its investment portfolio. Financial reporting, shareholder services, and corporate governance disclosures constitute the primary services it provides to investors.
