The full read
Arco Leasing's new promoters have cleared another regulatory hurdle. RBI has approved the appointment of Atul Jaiswal and Jitesh Kothari as directors of its material subsidiary Ansu Trade & Fiscals, effective until June 1, 2031. This follows the parent-level change of control through a preferential allotment and open offer. For a nano-cap company with negligible market capitalisation, this approval is material — it removes execution risk around the subsidiary's leadership transition and signals regulatory comfort with the new management. The subsidiary is a key entity under the group, and solidifying control over its board strengthens the promoters' hold. The next test is whether Arco Leasing will seek further restructuring or additional approvals. For now, the regulatory path is clear.
