Promoter Shareholding Shows Mixed Trends Amid Market Volatility in March Quarter

In the March quarter, promoter shareholding patterns showed mixed trends amid market volatility. While overall promoter pledging remained lower than the previous year, some small-cap sectors experienced increased financial stress with rising pledged shares. Concurrently, promoters selectively increased stakes in around 695 companies, particularly in asset-heavy sectors like power, infrastructure, and real estate, driven by valuation comfort and strategic acquisitions. The number of companies with high pledging above 90% remained relatively stable, indicating cautious leverage management.
