Andhra Cements Limited's promoter, Sagar Cements Limited, will sell up to 7.24% stake (66,76,843 shares) via Offer for Sale (OFS) from March 17-18, 2026. The floor price is set at ₹52 per share. This move aims to meet minimum public shareholding norms, reducing promoter holding from 82.24% to 75%.
The sale of a significant stake (7.24%) by the promoter will alter the shareholding pattern and potentially increase the free float of the company's shares. This could have a moderate impact on liquidity and market dynamics.
The announcement is a regulatory filing regarding a promoter's intention to sell shares to meet minimum public shareholding norms. While it involves a change in shareholding, it is a planned regulatory action and does not inherently indicate positive or negative performance for the company.
Andhra Cements Limited (ACL), a subsidiary of Sagar Cements Limited, has announced that its promoter, Sagar Cements Limited (Seller), intends to sell up to 7.24% of the company's total paid-up equity share capital. This sale, aggregating to 66,76,843 equity shares of face value ₹10 each, is being undertaken to comply with the minimum public shareholding requirements.
The divestment process will commence on March 17, 2026, and conclude by March 18, 2026, or upon the actual completion of the sale, whichever is earlier. The sale will occur through a stock exchange mechanism on a separate window provided by BSE and NSE. The floor price for the offer for sale (OFS) has been set at ₹52 per equity share.
Sagar Cements Limited currently holds 82.24% of Andhra Cements' equity share capital. Post the sale, the promoter's shareholding will be reduced to approximately 75%. The OFS will be conducted on March 17, 2026, for non-retail investors, and on March 18, 2026, for retail investors and non-retail investors who wish to carry forward their un-allotted bids. Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers Limited is acting as the sole broker for this transaction.
