Promoters' holding in listed cos slip to 8-yr low of 40.58%
New Delhi: Promoters' ownership in private listed companies declined to an eight-year low of 40.58 per cent as of June 30, 2025, following a net share sale worth Rs54,732 crore during the quarter, according to data from an initiative of PRIME Database Group. 'While promoter buying is always a positive sign, promoter selling can be due to a wide variety of reasons such as promoters taking advantage of bullish markets to take money off the table, strategic reasons like debt reduction, legacy planning, philanthropy, investment in other ventures and meeting Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) requirement as also for personal expenses,' said Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, PRIME Database Group. 'Relatively lower promoter holding in some of the recent IPO companies and overall institutionalisation of the market are some of the other reasons behind this fall,' he added. In comparison, private promoters held a 40.81 per cent stake in the quarter ended March 2025. The last time holdings were this low was in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, when private promoter shareholding stood at 40.19 per cent. This trend has been consistent over the past three years. Over the last 13 quarters alone, promoters' share has fallen sharply by 455 basis points from 45.13 per cent on March 31, 2022, to 40.58 per cent as of June 30, 2025. According to Haldea, as long as promoters continue to hold a sizable stake after the sale, with the sale not happening at a huge discount to market price and there being no significant change in the fundamentals of the company, there is no reason to worry. This analysis is based on the shareholding data filed by 2,086 out of the 2,131 companies listed on the main board of the NSE for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. As of July 25, 45 companies had yet to submit their shareholding disclosures. Meanwhile, government holdings as promoters saw a slight increase during the quarter, rising from 9.27 per cent to 9.39 per cent. The share of Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continued to climb, reaching an all-time high of 17.82 per cent as of June 30, 2025, up from 17.62 per cent in the previous quarter. This increase followed a net investment of Rs 1.68 lakh crore during the quarter.

Kaytex Fabrics IPO lists today. GMP at Rs 14 signals modest premium
Textile manufacturer Kaytex Fabrics is set to debut on the NSE SME platform on Tuesday riding into the secondary market on the back of robust investor demand and a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 14, or 8% above the IPO price of Rs 180 per share. ADVERTISEMENT The Rs 69.81 crore IPO received an enthusiastic response, getting oversubscribed 42.70 times overall. Retail investors subscribed 47.85 times, while HNIs and QIBs saw bids at 43.19x and 31.16x, respectively — reflecting solid interest across the board. Kaytex Fabrics, which offers fast-fashion fabrics and garments under brands like Rasiya, Kaytex, and Darbaar-e-Khaas, plans to use the IPO proceeds to expand its warehouse and sales office in Amritsar, invest in advanced processing machinery, and meet working capital needs. With a strong order book, diversified customer base, and FY25 PAT of Rs 16.9 crore on revenue of Rs 153.2 crore, the company enters the market at a P/E of 15.65x on post-issue earnings, and a market cap of around Rs 264 expect a steady listing, with upside limited by valuation concerns flagged in the IPO note — though strong retail participation and modest GMP suggest some room for early-day gains.
