Fourteen companies are set to witness shares worth approximately ₹13,763 crore becoming eligible for trading this week as their shareholder lock-in periods conclude. The list includes several prominent recent listings such as Meesho, Tata Capital, LG Electronics India, and WeWork India, representing some of the most significant IPOs of 2025. It is important to note that the end of shareholder lock-in periods simply makes shares eligible for trading and does not guarantee that all unlocked shares will be immediately sold in the open market.

Market Impact Considerations

The conclusion of shareholder lock-in periods represents a significant milestone for these companies and their investors. While the unlocking of shares creates potential selling opportunities for early investors, it does not automatically translate to immediate market pressure. The actual impact on share prices will depend on various factors including investor sentiment, company fundamentals, and broader market conditions.

Thirteen companies are set to see their shareholder lock-in periods conclude, with shares worth approximately ₹55,000 crore becoming eligible for trading.
