The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) dispensed with meetings of Arkade Developers Ltd shareholders and those of its subsidiary Filmistan Private Limited for approving the demerger scheme. This accelerates integration of Filmistan's rental business (87% of FY25 turnover) into Arkade, streamlining operations without shareholding changes.
Arkade Developers Ltd received a major regulatory green light from NCLT Mumbai Bench, waiving the requirement for separate shareholder meetings to approve the Scheme of Arrangement. The scheme demerges Filmistan Private Limited's rental business undertaking—contributing ₹13.05 lakhs (87.3% of subsidiary turnover in FY24-25)—directly into Arkade Developers.
Approved by Arkade's board on September 29, 2025 (appointed date August 1, 2025), the restructuring consolidates leasehold rights under single ownership, enhancing administrative efficiency and unlocking future opportunities. Filmistan remains a 100% subsidiary with no alterations to Arkade's shareholding pattern.
The dispensation expedites regulatory filings with stock exchanges and SEBI, positioning Arkade for optimized operations amid its Mumbai-centric real estate portfolio. This follows 100% acquisition advisory support from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas earlier in 2025.
