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.

Private promoter ownership dips to 8-year low in June 2025 quarter
Private promoters holding in the domestic capital market declined to an eight-year low of 40.58 per cent during the quarter ended June 30, down from 40.81 per cent as on March 31, 2025. In the April-June 2025 quarter, promoters sold Rs 54,732 crore worth of their holding on a net basis. In rupee value terms, private promoter holding stood at Rs 184.61 lakh crore as on June 30, 2025, according to a report by PRIME Database Group. This analysis is based on shareholding patterns filed by 2,086 of the total 2,131 companies listed on NSE (main board) for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. '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. Besides, relatively lower promoter holding in some of the recent IPO companies and overall institutionalisation of market are also the other reasons behind decline in promoter shareholding. Some of the companies that saw the highest selling, on a net basis, by private promoters in the June 2025 quarter included Bharti Airtel (Rs 13,059 crore), Interglobe Aviation (Rs 11,863 crore), Vishal Mega Mart (Rs 11,215 crore), Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (Rs 6,227 crore), and Bajaj Finserv Ltd. (Rs 5,725 crore). In the June 2025 quarter, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued their dominance in the stock market, the report showed. The share of domestic institutional investors (DIIs) touched an all-time high of 17.82 per cent as on June 30, 2025, up from 17.62 per cent as on March 31, 2025, following a net investment of Rs 1.68 lakh crore during the April-June period, the report said On the other hand, the share of foreign institutional investors (FIIs), declined further to a 13-year low of 17.04 per cent from 17.22 per cent during the previous quarter, despite a net inflow of Rs 38,674 crore (inflow of Rs 29,793 in secondary market and inflow of Rs 8,881 crore in primary market). The increase in DIIs' share was mainly on account of domestic mutual funds (MFs) that are flush with retail money coming through systematic investment plan (SIPs). They invested Rs 1.17 lakh crore on a net basis during the quarter. Mutual funds' share in NSE listed companies reached an all-time high of 10.56 per cent as on June 30, 2025 (up from 10.35 per cent). Besides, mutual fund players, the domestic insurance companies too invested Rs 8,076 crore on net basis during the quarter even though their overall share went down from 5.40 per cent to 5.30 per cent, the report said.

India Inc promoters holding slumps to 8-yr low in June qtr: Report

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.

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. Mutual funds, buoyed by sustained retail inflows through systematic investment plans (SIPs), played a major role in this surge. Their net investment of Rs 1.17 lakh crore pushed mutual funds' share in NSE-listed companies to a new peak of 10.56 per cent, up from 10.35 per cent in March 2025. In contrast, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) saw their stake dip further to a 13-year low of 17.04 per cent from 17.22 per cent, despite a net inflow of Rs 38,674 crore during the quarter. DIIs increased their exposure most notably to the Consumer Discretionary sector while cutting back on Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). On the other hand, FIIs raised their allocation to Financial Services but also trimmed their investment in FMCG. India's largest institutional investor, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), saw a marginal decline in its equity holdings. Across 284 companies where it holds over 1 per cent, LIC's stake dropped to 3.68 per cent as of June 30, 2025, from 3.72 per cent at the end of March 2025, even though it recorded a net purchase of Rs 9,914 crore during the quarter. LIC continues to account for a dominant 69 per cent share, amounting to Rs 16.76 lakh crore of all insurance equity investments.
