Promoter Viswanath Kompella has pledged 5,00,000 equity shares (0.49% of total share capital) of Virinchi Limited with Badjate Stock Broking Pvt Ltd on April 15, 2025. The reason cited is to cover a shortfall in security coverage for a loan of Rs. 5 crore meant for personal use by the promoter. After this pledge, the promoter's total encumbered shares stand at 1,12,72,679 (10.98% of total share capital), which is 29.28% of his overall promoter shareholding of 37.51%. The pledge is with a stock broking entity (not a bank or NBFC), and the value of pledged shares (Rs. 1.08 crore) provides a security cover ratio of just 0.07 against the loan amount.
This is a relatively small incremental pledge (0.49% of capital) and the overall encumbered portion remains well below the 50% promoter holding or 20% total capital thresholds, so no immediate red flags. However, the loan is for personal use and the security cover ratio is very thin (7%), which could raise concerns if share prices fall — potentially leading to invocation and forced selling pressure on the stock.
