RMC Switchgears has pledged its entire 51% shareholding in subsidiary Intelligent Hydel Solutions Pvt Ltd (IHSPL) to Saatvik Cleantech EPC Pvt Ltd as collateral for a secured loan of ₹1,35,91,500 (about ₹1.36 crore). The board approved this on March 31, 2026. Notably, the lender Saatvik Cleantech already owns 49% in IHSPL, meaning it gains significant influence over the subsidiary through the loan agreement. As part of the deal, Saatvik has been given special rights including the ability to appoint directors, first right on any new share issuance, and the right to restrict any change in IHSPL's capital structure. RMC says this is not a related-party transaction since Saatvik is not linked to its promoters.
The loan amount is small (₹1.36 crore) but the real concern for shareholders is the special rights granted to the lender, who already holds 49% in the subsidiary. If RMC defaults on repayment, the pledgee can invoke the pledge and potentially take control of IHSPL, meaning the parent could lose its key subsidiary. This reduces the standalone value cushion for RMC shareholders and signals some financial stress given the pledging of subsidiary assets.
