HDFC Mutual Fund (through its various schemes) has disclosed an increase of 2.184% in its shareholding in Aster DM Healthcare Limited under SEBI Takeover Regulations. The holding rose from 5.00% (as on April 1, 2024) to 7.008% (as on February 18, 2026), meaning an additional 1,13,15,620 shares were bought through open market purchases. Total shares held by HDFC MF schemes now stand at 3,63,10,641 equity shares. The acquisition was carried out through multiple HDFC MF schemes including Flexi Cap Fund, Balanced Advantage Fund, Small Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, and others. HDFC MF is not part of the promoter/promoter group of Aster DM Healthcare.
A 2%+ open market buying by a major domestic mutual fund signals institutional confidence in the stock. With HDFC MF now holding over 7%, any further buying may trigger additional disclosures if they cross the 10% threshold, which could increase stock visibility among passive and active fund managers.
