Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has disclosed a sale of 19,791,812 shares (2.001%) in Castrol India Ltd through open market transactions between 22 January 2021 and 30 April 2026. Before the sale, LIC held 109,321,029 shares representing 11.052% of the company's voting capital. After the sale, LIC's holding reduced to 89,529,217 shares (9.051%). LIC confirmed it does not belong to the promoter/promoter group. This is a routine SAST disclosure for a shareholder holding more than 5% reducing their position.
LIC crossing below the 10% threshold indicates a significant reduction in institutional backing for Castrol India. While not a promoter, LIC's reduced stake from above 11% to below 9% may signal reduced confidence or portfolio rebalancing, which could modestly impact investor sentiment.
