Through an off-market transaction, the promoters and their Persons Acting in Concert (PACs) acquired 147,200 shares, pushing their total stake to 51.97%. This move crosses the key 50% ownership threshold, a notable development for the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC).

Transaction Details

Brilliant Portfolios Limited announced that Akshat Jain and Avni Jain, in conjunction with Persons Acting in Concert (PACs), completed an off-market acquisition of 147,200 equity shares. This transaction, dated March 25, 2026, increases their combined shareholding from 47.23% (1,464,840 shares) to 51.97% (1,612,040 shares) of the company's total equity share capital of 31,01,800 shares. The acquisition requires disclosure under SEBI's (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

Significance of the Stake Increase

Crossing the 50% shareholding threshold signifies a substantial increase in promoter control and influence over Brilliant Portfolios Limited. This move often indicates strong confidence from the promoters in the company's future prospects or potential strategic realignments. With a majority stake, the promoters gain greater decision-making power, which may precede new strategic initiatives or operational changes. The disclosure also confirms adherence to SEBI's substantial acquisition norms.
