Aqylon Nexus Limited saw a significant reduction in institutional holding as Leading Leasing Finance and Investment Company Limited disposed of 4.80% equity. The transaction, executed on October 13, 2026, lowered the investor's stake from 10.16% to 5.36%.

The disposal involved the sale of 1,21,70,520 shares carrying voting rights. This move was conducted through the open market, adhering to disclosures under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

Percentage Holding 10.16% (4.80%) 5.36%
Mode of Transaction - Open Market -

Regulatory Compliance

Leading Leasing Finance confirmed that it does not belong to the promoter or promoter group of Aqylon Nexus. The company remains a substantial shareholder following the disposal, as its holding exceeds the 5% threshold that triggers continued disclosure obligations under SEBI regulations. The total equity share capital of Aqylon Nexus remained unchanged at 25,37,30,560 equity shares of ₹1 each.

What the Numbers Show

The sale represents a near-halving of the institutional stake, with Leading Leasing exiting just under half of its previous position. Despite this significant divestment, the entity retains a strategic foothold with a 5.36% holding, keeping it within the realm of major non-promoter shareholders who must report further changes in ownership.
