Five Companies Free Up ₹25,000 Crore Shares
Five companies in India will have their shareholder lock-in periods end this week.
This means that a lot of shares, worth nearly ₹25,000 crore, will be allowed to trade on the stock market.
The biggest part of this is from Anthem Biosciences, which has shares worth ₹23,619 crore becoming available.
The other companies are Midwest Ltd., Capital Infra Trust Ltd., KSH International Ltd., and Laxmi Dental Ltd.
The shares will be freed up on different days this week.
Just because the shares can be traded doesn't mean they will be sold right away.
The companies' shares are trading at different prices compared to when they were first issued.
Five companies will have their shareholder lock-in periods end this week, freeing up shares worth nearly ₹25,000 crore.
Anthem Biosciences has the largest share value being freed, with ₹23,619 crore (69% of the total) becoming available on January 22.
Midwest Ltd., Capital Infra Trust Ltd., and KSH International Ltd. will see shares freed up on January 19.
Laxmi Dental Ltd. will have shares freed up on January 20.
The end of the lock-in period means shares are eligible for trade, but not necessarily that they will be sold.
