What the Numbers Show
The entire stake of 6.39% post-issue is being acquired by entities linked to State Bank of India’s mutual fund platform. SBI Mutual Fund holds the dominant portion with a 5.75% stake, while SBI Optimal Equity Fund acquires a smaller 0.64% position. This concentration suggests institutional confidence in the company’s near-term prospects, as both investors are entering as fresh shareholders in this tranche.
