Ather Energy Shares Fall 11% After Shareholder Lock-In Ends; ₹856 Crore Block Deal Recorded

Ather Energy Ltd shares came under pressure on Thursday, November 6, falling as much as 11% after the expiry of its six-month shareholder lock-in period and a major block deal in the stock.

Ather Energy Shares Decline After Lock-In Expiry

As per news report, around 16.23 crore shares of Ather Energy became eligible for trading as the shareholder lock-in ended, representing approximately 44% of the company’s outstanding equity.

At Tuesday’s closing price, the shares freed up for trading were valued at nearly ₹10,800 crore. However, it is important to note that the end of the lock-in does not mean all these shares will be sold immediately; it only makes them available for trading in the open market.

₹856 Crore Block Deal Executed

Alongside the lock-in expiry, a large transaction took place earlier in the day. About 1.4 crore shares of Ather Energy, worth ₹856.2 crore, changed hands at an average price of ₹630 per share. This represents roughly 3.66% of the company’s total equity.

Ather Energy Shareholding Structure

As per the September quarter data, promoters held a 41.22% stake in the company, slightly lower than 42.09% in the June quarter.

Among public shareholders, mutual funds own 12.4% of the company’s equity, with key investors including SBI Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, and Invesco Mutual Fund.

The National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) holds 4.67%, while the India Japan Fund has a 5.67% stake. Additionally, around 1.4 lakh retail shareholders—those with investments of up to ₹2 lakh—collectively own 4.63% of the company.

Conclusion

The decline in Ather Energy shares following the lock-in expiry and block deal reflects short-term market adjustments as newly released shares become tradeable.
