Tracking Promoter Pledging:
What’s at Stake?
Impact on our views: The new SEBI regulations
require promoters/founders of companies to disclose the
amount of stock they have pledged. The following are
our observations:
Thus far, 293 companies have disclosed pledges on
their holdings.
At current market prices, the total value of pledged
stocks is US$6.8 billion.
This is about 1.1% of the current market cap of the
country.
Assuming 50% margin, the bank credit to these
promoters at US$3.4 billion is 0.6% of outstanding bank
credit.
