UltraTech Cement Shares Decline After Pilani Investment Sells Stake in Block Deal
UltraTech Cement shares fell over 2% following a block deal involving 25 lakh shares, approximately 0.8% equity, valued near Rs 2,900 crore. The sale was linked to promoter entity Pilani Investment and Industries Corp, which planned to sell around 0.57-0.6% stake at a discount to recent closing prices. Pilani Investment held a 1.5% stake, with promoters collectively owning over 59%. A 60-day lock-up applies post-transaction. The deal reflects ongoing secondary-market exits amid strong demand and volume growth for UltraTech.
