Western Press Private Limited, a promoter of Foods & Inns Ltd, has released 34,00,000 shares (4.63% of total share capital) from an existing pledge held in favour of Bajaj Finance Limited. This de-pledge event occurred on November 24, 2025 and was reported to the stock exchanges on November 26, 2025. Post-release, encumbered shares have dropped sharply from 34,13,500 (4.65%) to just 1,00,000 shares (0.14%). The promoter’s overall shareholding in the company remains unchanged at 33,00,000 shares (4.50%), indicating this was purely a loan repayment or collateral release rather than any change in ownership.
This is a positive signal for shareholders — nearly all of the promoter's pledged shares have been freed up, reducing the risk of forced selling or margin calls. It suggests improved financial flexibility for Western Press and lowers the overhang risk on the stock.
