The surge came a day before an important trading session on October 16, which marks the end of the company’s one-month shareholder lock-in period. Around 4.15 crore shares, representing about 3% of the company’s outstanding equity and valued at approximately Rs. 651 crore, will become eligible for trading after the lock-in expiry.
This event is significant as it could increase liquidity and trading activity in the stock, though the end of the lock-in does not necessarily mean these shares will be sold immediately.
