Likely market impact

This is a continued reduction in promoter group stake in a small-cap company, suggesting promoter entities are trimming their holdings. With the promoter group's combined holding already below 50%, further sales could keep signalling gradual dilution of promoter influence, which retail investors should monitor closely.
