LOTUSDEV Promoter Sells 2% Stake to Meet Public Shareholding Norms
Promoter Mr. Anand Kamalnayan Pandit will sell up to 2.00% (97,74,474 shares) of Sri Lotus Developers and Realty Limited to meet minimum public shareholding norms. The sale will occur within 7 trading days starting September 09, 2026. Promoter shareholding will decrease from 81.87% to 79.87%.
The sale of 2% of promoter shares will impact the shareholding structure and potentially increase liquidity in the market. While it fulfills a regulatory requirement, a significant change in promoter holding can be perceived as a medium-term impact.
The sale is a regulatory requirement to meet minimum public shareholding norms and does not inherently signal positive or negative performance. It is a procedural action.
Sri Lotus Developers and Realty Limited (formerly AKP Holdings Limited) has announced that one of its promoters, Mr. Anand Kamalnayan Pandit, intends to sell up to 2.00% of the company's total issued and paid-up equity share capital. This amounts to 97,74,474 equity shares of face value ₹1 each.

The divestment process will be completed within a period of 7 trading days, commencing from September 09, 2026, or the actual date of completion of the sale, whichever is earlier. As of September 08, 2026, the aggregate shareholding of promoters and the promoter group stood at 81.87%.
