A distinct concentration is visible in the public holding structure: 99.97% of the public float is held by a single category labeled "Any Other - Foreign Bodies" within the institutional segment. Domestic retail investors, mutual funds, banks, and insurance companies hold 0% of the units. This indicates that the secondary market liquidity for Digital Fibre Infrastructure Trust is currently dominated by specific foreign institutional capital rather than broad domestic participation.
