Amarnath Securities Ltd saw its shareholding pattern shift as GX Ventures LLP increased its stake to 12.02% following an open market acquisition. The entity purchased 14,550 equity shares on October 19, 2026, taking its total holding along with Persons Acting in Concert (PACs) to 360,636 shares.

The acquisition was executed through the open market route and was disclosed to the Bombay Stock Exchange under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Prior to this transaction, GX Ventures LLP and its PACs held 346,086 shares, representing 11.54% of the company's total voting capital.

Acquisition Details and Holding Structure

The disclosure highlights that GX Ventures LLP does not belong to the promoter or promoter group of Amarnath Securities. The Persons Acting in Concert (PACs) associated with the acquirer include GX Capital Pvt Ltd, Novita Brands Pvt Ltd, Pawan Jain, and Monika Jain. The total equity share capital of the target company remains unchanged at ₹3,00,02,000, comprising 30,00,200 equity shares.

What the Numbers Show

The incremental purchase of 14,550 shares represents a modest 0.48% increase in the aggregate holding of the acquirer and its PACs. This movement brings the combined stake just above the 12% threshold, indicating a gradual accumulation strategy rather than a bulk block deal or preferential allotment. Since the total diluted share capital remained constant at 30,00,200 shares, the rise in percentage is solely attributable to the additional equity acquired by the non-promoter entities.
