On June 12, 2025, the National Stock Exchange witnessed massive block deal activity, totalling over ₹8,000 crore. Key participants in these trades included Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance, Eternal Ltd (formerly Zomato), and Schaeffler India. Such large-scale transactions typically signal institutional activity, portfolio realignment, or strategic stake sales.
Asian Paints emerged as the biggest player in today’s block deal frenzy, with 3.5 crore shares changing hands at ₹2,201 per share. The total value of this transaction reached a staggering ₹7,703.5 crore, making it one of the most significant trades seen on the exchange in recent times.
Other companies also saw notable action. Bajaj Finance saw 1.75 lakh shares being traded at ₹9,519 each, resulting in a deal worth ₹166.58 crore. Eternal Ltd, the company formerly known as Zomato, recorded a block deal of 60.94 lakh shares at ₹257.07 apiece, totalling ₹156.65 crore. Schaeffler India saw 79,559 shares change hands at ₹4,188.40 per share, amounting to ₹33.32 crore.
In related news, PhonePe reportedly planned to sell a 5% stake in CE Info Systems Ltd (MapmyIndia) at ₹1,750 per share — about 10.4% below the previous closing price. The deal, valued at around ₹476.20 crore, comes as PhonePe looks to reduce its 18.74% holding in the company. The move was expected to attract investor attention, given the size and discount involved.

Today’s significant block deals highlight growing interest and possible strategic repositioning among large investors. While Asian Paints led the way with a massive transaction, the combined activity across multiple major firms reflects a broader trend of reallocation in the market. With improving macroeconomic signals, investor confidence could continue to build in the weeks ahead.
