Centrum Capital Limited promoter Business Match Services (India) Private Limited has created a pledge on 4,81,55,000 equity shares, representing 9.66% of the company's total share capital. The encumbrance was reported to stock exchanges on October 12, 2026, citing fluctuations in market price as the primary reason for the transaction.

The pledge involves shares held by the promoter entity, which holds a total of 13,44,99,041 shares or 26.98% of Centrum Capital's equity. The creation of encumbrance occurred in multiple tranches between September 30, 2026 and October 6, 2026, benefiting three distinct financial entities: Minsol Limited, S Jogani Exports Private Limited, and STCI Finance Limited.

Pledge details and lender distribution

The total pledged volume of 4,81,55,000 shares is distributed across three lenders. STCI Finance Limited holds the largest portion of the encumbered shares following two separate creation events. The table below outlines the specific share counts and percentages allocated to each entity.

Regulatory compliance and timing

This disclosure was made under Regulation 31(1) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The filing explicitly states that the pledge creation was necessitated by "fluctuation in market price," a common trigger for margin calls or additional security requirements in leveraged positions. The transactions were executed over a one-week window, with the final tranche for STCI Finance Limited occurring on October 6, 2026.

What the numbers show

A comparison of the promoter's total holding against the newly created encumbrance reveals that 35.8% of Business Match Services' stake in Centrum Capital is now pledged. Specifically, out of the 13,44,99,041 shares held by the promoter, 4,81,55,000 shares are currently encumbered. This concentration indicates a significant portion of the promoter's equity is utilized as collateral, potentially limiting their ability to sell these shares without releasing the pledge first.

Centrum Capital Limited promoter JBCG Advisory Services Private Limited created a fresh pledge of 25,00,000 equity shares in the company. The transaction, reported to stock exchanges on October 1, 2026, was executed pursuant to a fresh loan agreement with KRCHOKSEY Financial Services Private Limited.

This new encumbrance adds to the existing pledge structure involving other promoters and entities. The filing falls under Regulation 31(1) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The specific date of creation for this pledge was September 23, 2026.
