Major Promoter & SAST Stake Changes in Ashima, Inox Wind, and Others
In a string of high-profile stock market disclosures, some Indian listed companies have seen major shareholding modifications under the SAST (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) and promoter transactions. The filings, made to the exchanges, reflect strategic maneuvers by acquirers and promoters indicating possible changes in corporate control, confidence, or consolidation plans.
Here’s a breakdown of the latest deals reported under SAST regulations and promoter category:
SAST Transactions

Shefali Chintan Parikh has acquired a substantial 15% stake in Ashima Limited. This marks a major move under SAST regulations. Such a significant acquisition often points to increased confidence in the company’s future prospects or an effort to establish a stronger influence in company affairs.
Interestingly, this acquisition was reported twice, reaffirming the commitment of the acquirer towards gaining a firm foothold in Ashima.
DCX Systems Limited (DCXINDIA)
Acquirer: NCBG Holdings Inc
Acquired Stake: 2.47%
In another notable move, NCBG Holdings Inc acquired a 2.47% stake in DCX Systems Ltd. While the stake percentage may appear modest, foreign acquisitions of even minor shares in defense and aerospace tech firms like DCX Systems often carry strategic significance.
