📈 What This Means for Retail Investors
The unlocking of such massive volumes could technically increase the available supply of shares. However, the real market impact depends on whether these shares are actually sold. Since most of the holdings are with promoters and institutional investors with long-term views, only a fraction might be offloaded, causing limited immediate pressure on stock prices.
But investors must remain cautious—any sharp dip post-unlock could also offer a good buying opportunity if the fundamentals remain strong.
