Indian Promoters Increase Stakes by Over $4 Billion in Select Companies in 2026

In 2026, Indian promoters have reversed a two-year selling trend by increasing their stakes by over $4 billion, focusing on asset-heavy sectors like power, infrastructure, and real estate. This shift follows a market correction and valuation cooling, with the MSCI India forward P/E ratio easing to 20.2 times. Key companies with increased promoter ownership include Adani Enterprises, GMR Airports, JSW Energy, and others. Notably, Adani Enterprises saw about $2 billion in promoter buying via a rights issue, while GMR Airports' promoters acquired a 7.3% stake from foreign shareholders through various transactions.
