How to read it

A pledge is a promoter offering shares as security to a lender. A release means the lender has given up that security, here following repayment of the loan. This is a disclosure about promoters' personal borrowing arrangements and does not change the number of shares they own or the company's own operations. Investors typically track the trend in promoter pledge levels over time rather than a single release.
