Retail Investors Increase Equity Stakes in Large-Cap and Small-Cap Stocks in June Quarter
In the June quarter of FY27, India's retail investors increased their equity holdings, with net purchases reaching ₹39,287 crore, the highest since December 2024. Retail participation rose notably in large-cap firms like Vedanta, Wipro, and Bajaj Auto, as well as in 328 small-cap stocks, reflecting sustained confidence. Despite this, retail ownership declined in nearly half of the companies analyzed. Some small-cap stocks, including Deccan Gold Mines and Sansera Engineering, saw retail stakes and share prices surge significantly during CY26, though broad gains remain limited.
