A lock-in period refers to the time frame following a company's listing during which certain shareholders—typically promoters, early investors, or insiders—are restricted from selling their shares in the open market.
Once this period expires, these shareholders are permitted to offload their holdings, potentially increasing the stock's free float and available supply. While the lifting of lock-in restrictions does not directly affect the fundamentals of a company, it can impact market dynamics depending on the volume of shares released and prevailing
investor sentiment
.
The lock-in release on August 8 comes exactly a year after the company's listing and will allow previously restricted shares to become eligible for trading on the open market starting Friday.

lock-in expiry
typically results in a sharp increase in the number of shares available for trading as previously restricted shares held by promoters, early investors, or institutions become eligible for sale. This sudden rise in supply can lead to short-term selling pressure, especially if early investors choose to book profits, often pushing the stock price lower.
While this is a common and expected event in the lifecycle of a newly listed company, the stock's reaction largely depends on investor sentiment and the company's fundamentals.
If large shareholders retain their stakes post-lock-in, it may be seen as a vote of confidence, whereas significant selling could trigger concerns among retail investors.
