Detail | Value |
Shares on offer | 2.01 crore |
Stake percentage | 6.49% |
Floor price | ₹368 per share |
OFS dates | 21–22 August 2025 |
Holding post-sale | ~75% |
Last BSE close | ₹370.25 per share |
By cutting its stake from 81.5% to about 75%, UltraTech is aligning with regulatory requirements for public shareholding, which must remain at or above 25%. The move could unlock liquidity of more than ₹740 crore at current market levels. For you as an investor, the OFS format creates a structured way to take part in the transaction, with pricing clearly defined at ₹368 per share.
Market watchers will keep an eye on how the OFS affects trading activity. Since the closing price of ₹370.25 is very close to the floor price, interest from institutional and retail investors may determine how smoothly the shares are absorbed. Retail participation on the second day of the offer could bring noticeable activity, even if it is temporary.
