Stock Market Sees ₹40,000 Cr in Promoter, PE/VC Exits Amid Strong DII Flows in June

A wave of stake sales by promoters, private equity (PE), and venture capital (VC) investors has taken Indian equity markets by surprise in June 2025. In just 2 weeks, stake sales have exceeded ₹40,000 crore and appear poised to surpass May’s already hefty ₹43,000 crore figure.

The surge in supply—driven by back-to-back block and bulk deals—has brought fresh scrutiny to the current market rally, even as domestic flows remain resilient.

Massive Stake Sales Raise Valuation Concerns

Major market names are driving the selling spree. On June 17, Vishal Mega Mart’s promoter sold a massive 19.6% stake worth ₹10,220 crore to mutual funds. Earlier this month, Bajaj Finserv’s promoter divested around ₹5,500 crore in shares.

Reliance Industries added to the list with its ₹9,580 crore stake sale in Asian Paints, while Flipkart exited its 6% holding in Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail for ₹588 crore.

These headline deals are part of a broader wave that includes exits from Aptus Value Housing, Suzlon Energy, Alkem Laboratories, Jubilant FoodWorks, Azad Engineering, and Kaynes Technology, as per an Economic Times report

DIIs to the Rescue—For Now

Despite the massive sell-off by promoters and financial investors, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have provided a critical cushion. DIIs have made net equity purchases worth over ₹49,000 crore so far in June, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have turned net sellers, offloading nearly ₹7,000 crore.

These strong domestic inflows have helped markets stay afloat. The Sensex and Nifty 50 continue to hover near all-time highs.

Conclusion

The ₹40,000 crore wave of promoter and PE/VC stake sales in June reflects a clear shift in market dynamics, with high valuations prompting opportunistic exits. However, strong support from domestic institutional investors has helped absorb the supply and maintain market momentum. While this trend doesn’t necessarily signal a reversal, it does warrant cautious optimism.
