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.
