Mutual Funds Nearly Exit EaseMyTrip in March Quarter

Mutual funds have significantly reduced their holdings in EaseMyTrip during the March quarter of 2026, shedding over 99% of their investments in the company.  

This substantial exit highlights a major shift in the investment pattern related to this online travel platform. 

Drastic Reduction by Mutual Funds 

As of Q4 FY26, only 1 unnamed mutual fund retained a minor presence in EaseMyTrip, holding just 1,152 shares.  

Comparatively, in the preceding December quarter, 5 mutual funds collectively owned 64.63 lakh shares, representing a 0.18% holding.  

In Q4 FY25, 9 mutual funds held 84.61 lakh shares or a 0.24% stake. 

Foreign Investors Increase Holdings 

While domestic mutual funds almost exited EaseMyTrip, the company's appeal among foreign investors increased.  

By the end of March 2026, 14 foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) held 5.14 crore shares, equivalent to a 1.41% stake.  

This marks an increase from 1.62 crore shares (0.44% shareholding) held by 13 FPIs at the end of December 2025. 

Retail Investors and Promoter Shareholding 

Retail investors, including non-resident Indians (NRIs), also reduced their holdings by 6% compared to the previous quarter.  

By the end of March 2026, resident individual shareholders with nominal capital up to ₹2 lakh held 135.69 crore shares, equivalent to a 37.31% stake.  

The promoter shareholding remained unchanged at 47.72% during the same period. 

Financial Performance and Key Stakeholders 

EaseMyTrip's financial performance has faced challenges, notably a 90% drop in net profit to ₹3.4 crore in Q3 FY26.  

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) maintained a 2.3% stake, holding steady with 8.36 crore shares.  

Additionally, Arthkumbh Ventures LLP acquired a 1.75% shareholding via a strategic block deal in February.
