Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel Shares of bluechip Nifty stock Asian Paints , which have fallen nearly 30% in the last two years due to rising competitive intensity and sluggish urban demand, saw a large block deal this morning in which 3.5 crore shares exchanged transaction involving 3.6% equity was said to be valued around Rs 7,7OO crore, according to reports. Following the large block deal, Asian Paints shares rose over 2% to Rs 2,263.95 on details of the buyer and seller were not immediately known, but there is a rumour in the market that Reliance Industries , which owns a 4.9% stake in Asian Paints through its investment arm Ojasvi Trading might have been the a month ago, ET had reported that RIL has revived plans to sell its entire 4.9% stake in Asian Paints, nearly two decades after buying had picked up the stake at an investment of just Rs 500 crore in January 2008, right when markets were in a tailspin amid the global financial crisis and the collapse of Lehman Paints shares have shed 17% over the past three years, making it one of the worst-performing blue-chip stocks in that period. Its once-impregnable fortress is now under siege — notably from Birla Opus Paints, a new entrant backed by the Aditya Birla to Elara Securities, Asian Paints' market share has fallen from 59% to 52% in FY25.
