Sagar Cements Limited, as the promoter of Andhra Cements Limited, sold 66,76,843 equity shares (face value ₹10 each), representing 7.24% of Andhra Cements' total paid-up equity share capital. The sale was executed through an Offer for Sale via the stock exchange mechanism between March 17 and March 18, 2026. As a result, Sagar Cements' promoter shareholding in Andhra Cements has come down from 82.24% to 75%. With this reduction, Andhra Cements has now met the SEBI-mandated Minimum Public Shareholding requirement of 25%, in line with SCRR Rules 19(2)(b) and 19A, and SEBI LODR Regulation 38.
This is a regulatory compliance-driven sale, not a strategic divestment. The transaction increases the public float in Andhra Cements from about 17.76% to 25%, which should improve share liquidity and trading. For Sagar Cements shareholders, the impact is limited as this is about its stake in Andhra Cements, not Sagar Cements' own capital structure.
