By Business Desk
PL Capital tracks upcoming IPO lock-in expiries, making Rs 3.29 lakh crore in eligible shares ready for trading and potential market volatility.
Indian equity markets face upcoming supply-side pressure as pre-IPO share lock-in periods for recently listed companies are scheduled to expire over a three-month window. Data compiled by Mannat Gandhi, a Database Analyst at PL Capital’s Institutional Research division, shows that these upcoming expiries will make significant volumes of shares eligible for trading.
Tracking Supply Overhang and Volatility
The strategic monitor helps market participants anticipate potential volatility and supply-side pressure by tracking exact dates when promoters and anchor investors can sell holdings. Market participants monitor these restrictions spanning various time periods, creating potential psychological overhang even if selling is not mandatory.
