Marg Techno-Projects promoters experienced a significant dilution in their aggregate shareholding, which fell from 48.35% to 29.28%, following the completion of a rights issue. The disclosure, filed with BSE Limited and Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Limited (MSE) on August 04, 2026, clarifies that the reduction in percentage holding is solely due to the increase in the company’s total paid-up equity share capital and does not represent any sale, transfer, or disposal of shares by the promoter group.
The allotment of equity shares on a rights basis was credited to shareholders on July 31, 2026. Prior to the issue, the company’s paid-up equity share capital stood at 1,42,00,000 equity shares of face value of Rs. 10/- each. Post-allotment, the capital increased to 7,81,00,000 equity shares of the same face value. The rights issue was conducted at an issue price of Rs. 10.00/- per share.
Akhil Nair, a promoter, submitted the disclosure on behalf of himself and other promoters acting in concert: Arun Madhavan Nair, Madhavan Kakkat Nair, Dhananjay Kakkat Nair, and Reema Madhavan Nair. The filing confirms that none of the promoters encumbered their newly acquired shares through pledge or lien.
Change in Promoter Shareholding
The table below details the shift in individual and aggregate holdings before and after the rights issue allotment:
| Promoter Name | Shares Before Allotment | % Before Allotment | Shares Allotted | Shares After Allotment | % After Allotment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arun Madhavan Nair | 21,30,500 | 16.27% | 60,00,000 | 81,30,500 | 10.41% |
| Akhil Nair | 20,18,190 | 14.21% | 60,00,000 | 80,18,190 | 10.27% |
| Madhavan Kakkat Nair | 14,46,310 | 10.19% | 40,00,000 | 54,46,310 | 6.97% |
| Dhananjay Kakkat Nair | 6,54,310 | 4.61% | 0 | 6,54,310 | 0.84% |
| Reema Madhavan Nair | 6,16,860 | 4.34% | 0 | 6,16,860 | 0.79% |
| Total | 68,66,170 | 48.35% | 1,60,00,000 | 2,28,66,170 | 29.28% |
Three promoters—Arun Madhavan Nair, Akhil Nair, and Madhavan Kakkat Nair—participated in the rights issue, acquiring a combined 1,60,00,000 shares. Dhananjay Kakkat Nair and Reema Madhavan Nair did not subscribe to the new allotment, resulting in a more pronounced percentage dilution for their respective holdings.
What the Numbers Show
The substantial drop in promoter percentage ownership—from nearly half the company to less than a third—highlights the magnitude of the capital raise relative to the pre-issue base. While the absolute number of shares held by the active promoters increased significantly, the expansion of the total share pool to 7,81,00,000 shares reduced their proportional control. This structural change is typical of large-scale rights issues aimed at raising capital without altering the relative economic interest of participating promoters versus non-participating public shareholders, though it does lower the overall promoter group concentration.
