Shareholding moves in Q4: Million new investors flocked to these cos
Mint Hyderabad
|May 12, 2025
While some companies gained investor traction, others saw significant pullback in retail ownership
The growing clout of retail investors is hard to ignore, and so are their bets. In the March quarter, individual investors—those holding shares worth up to ₹2 lakh—doubled down on financial services, auto and depository firms. These stocks faced steep corrections—some falling as much as 30%—yet they collectively attracted over a million new individual shareholders, on a sequential basis, defying the broader market sentiment.
The ones that saw this investor surge include Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL), Jio Financial Services, Tata Motors, and Eternal, each witnessing a steady rise in retail participation despite their declining share prices.
