Goswami Infratech Private Limited (GIPL), a promoter of Afcons Infrastructure, has disclosed the creation of a pledge on May 6, 2025 over its entire shareholding of 9.20 crore shares (25.03% of Afcons's total share capital) in favour of Axis Trustee Services Limited acting as debenture trustee. The pledge secures 14,30,000 zero-coupon, secured, redeemable, non-convertible debentures of face value INR 1 lakh each, aggregating to INR 14,300 crore issued by GIPL. The debentures carry a low credit rating of CARE BB- (Negative). The borrowed amount is being used to repay existing debt of GIPL and PACs, make inter-corporate deposits/loans to promoter group entities for refinancing, and cover issue expenses. The security cover ratio stands at only 33.70%, meaning pledged shares are worth roughly one-third of the total outstanding debt of about INR 12,560 crore.
This is a materially negative signal: 100% of the promoter's stake is now pledged, the underlying debt has a junk-grade rating (BB- with Negative outlook), and the share cover ratio is thin at 33.70%. Retail investors should watch closely for any pledge invocation, as falling share prices relative to outstanding debt could trigger margin calls or forced selling of Afcons shares.
