Deepak Builders & Engineers India Limited disclosed that its promoter, Mr Deepak Kumar Singal, created a pledge over 2.7 million equity shares on August 22, 2026. The encumbrance was reported to the stock exchanges on August 29, 2026.

The filing was made under Regulation 31(1) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The pledge covers shares held by Mr Singal, who owns 300,807,860 shares, representing 64.58% of the company’s total share capital. The newly encumbered shares were pledged for personal use by the promoter.

Pledge Details

The creation of encumbrance involves two distinct transactions with different financial entities. The details are as follows:

Comfort Fincap Limited is identified as a scheduled commercial bank or public financial institution. Badjate Stock Broking Pvt. Ltd. is also categorized similarly in the disclosure.

What the Numbers Show

The post-event holding of encumbered shares stands at 54,400,000 shares, which is 11.68% of the total share capital. This represents an increase from the prior encumbered holding of 11.10% before the first transaction and 11.42% after the first but before the second. The total promoter holding remains unchanged at 64.58%.

The security cover ratios for both pledges are below 1:1. For Comfort Fincap, the value of shares (₹1.02 crore) is significantly lower than the amount involved (₹4 crore), resulting in a ratio of 0.25:1. Similarly, for Badjate Stock Broking, the share value (₹81.6 lakh) is less than the amount involved (₹5 crore), with a ratio of 0.16:1. This indicates that the debt secured by these pledges exceeds the market value of the pledged collateral as per the filing.

Neither of the encumbered share blocks constitutes 50% or more of the promoter’s total shareholding, nor do they exceed 20% of the total share capital of the company.
