Lock-In Expiry: 16 Stocks in focus as ₹11,900 Cr worth of shares become eligible to trade this week

Synopsis: This week, shares of 16 companies worth over ₹11,900 crore will become tradable as their shareholder lock-in periods expire. Notably, 10 of these stocks are trading below their IPO prices.

A lock-in period is a fixed duration during which certain investors, such as promoters or anchor investors, are restricted from selling their shares after an IPO or allotment. It is designed to ensure market stability by preventing large-scale selling immediately after listing and to demonstrate the investors’ long-term commitment to the company. Once this period ends, the shares become eligible for trading in the open market.

The Shares of sixteen companies, with a combined valuation exceeding Rs. 11,900 crore, are set to become available for trading this shortened week as their shareholder lock-in periods expire.

The shares of 10 of the 16 companies are currently trading below their IPO prices, while one is trading exactly at its issue price as of Friday’s close. Here’s a closer look at these companies in detail:
