Promoters have sold shares worth Rs 2.57 lakh crore in 2025, marking the highest level in six years, as stock markets rally. This selling occurred through IPOs and secondary markets, with approximately Rs 7 lakh crore divested since 2020. Experts note that promoter selling isn't inherently negative but can be a red flag if accompanied by deteriorating company fundamentals. Notable stake sales in 2025 include LG Electronics, ICICI Prudential Asset Management, and HDB Financial Services via IPOs, and Bharti Airtel, IndiGo, Vishal Mega Mart, and Wipro in secondary markets.
