Likely market impact

Pledge release is generally a positive signal for retail investors as it reduces the encumbrance burden on the promoter (Shapoorji Pallonji group), lowering the risk of forced selling. However, with ~69% of the promoter's holding still pledged, significant leverage remains a concern and warrants monitoring.
