Promoter Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Pvt Ltd (SPCPL) has disclosed that 100% of its shareholding in Afcons Infrastructure (5,66,81,410 shares, 15.41% of total capital) is currently encumbered through pledges. A new pledge was created on 16 February 2026 over 1,22,34,940 shares (3.33% of total capital) in favour of Catalyst Trusteeship Ltd (Debenture Trustee) against a Rs 170 crore facility for the company's working capital needs. An earlier pledge over 4,44,46,470 shares (12.08% of capital) was created on 25 June 2025 in favour of SBICAP Trustee Company for a Rs 1,360 crore working capital facility from an SBI-led lender consortium. Aggregate pledged shares are valued at roughly Rs 2,345 crore at current market price.
With the promoter's entire 15.41% stake pledged, retail investors should be cautious of margin call or loan default risk, which could trigger forced share sales and pressure the stock. On the positive side, the borrowed funds are being used for the company's own working capital rather than promoter personal use, and the pledge cover ratios (6.98x and 2.35x) currently provide reasonable cushion.
