This is lower than the 67.38 percent stake held in the same period last year, as the promoter has steadily cut its holding over time. Meanwhile, mutual funds hold a 15.13 percent stake and retail investors own 16.1 percent.

Context

Block deals allow large institutional investors or promoters to buy or sell large blocks of shares outside the open market through separate trading windows. Such transactions are common when major stakeholders want to reduce their holdings while minimising sudden price crashes on the main exchange.
