| Metric | Before Disposal | After Disposal | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares held (Promoter Group) | 753,905 | 718,905 | -35,000 |
| Percentage of Voting Capital | 14.67% | 13.99% | -0.68% |

Promoter group composition
The disclosure lists multiple entities within the promoter group holding shares in Arcee Industries. Apart from Kruti Pipes Private Limited, other holders include Ramesh Chander Gupta (HUF), Vimal Kumar Singal, Arcee Ispat Udyog Limited, Kamlesh Singal, Bhagwati Devi Singal, Deepak Gupta, Ruchi Gupta, Santosh Gupta, and S. C. Gupta.
Notably, the post-disposal table lists "APL Fincap Limited" with 656,505 shares, whereas the pre-disposal section references "APL Fincap Limited" with 691,505 shares alongside Kruti Pipes' separate entry. This suggests a potential reclassification or correction in the reporting of specific entity holdings within the group structure, though the aggregate promoter group percentage remains the primary metric for regulatory compliance.
What the numbers show
The reduction in promoter holding is modest at 0.68 percentage points. While the absolute number of shares sold is small relative to the total capitalization of 51,38,777 equity shares, it reflects a marginal dilution of promoter control. The total share capital remains unchanged at ₹5,13,87,770, divided into 51,38,777 equity shares of face value ₹10 each.
The transaction value of ₹5,32,700 for 35,000 shares implies an average price of approximately ₹15.22 per share. This pricing aligns with the face value structure but indicates trading levels close to par or slightly above, reflecting the market sentiment for the scrip at the time of execution.
