Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund (KMMF) has disclosed an open market acquisition of 2,00,003 equity shares (0.19%) of Home First Finance Company India Ltd on March 18, 2026. With this purchase, KMMF's total holding has risen from 4.94% (51,45,460 shares) to 5.13% (53,45,463 shares), crossing the 5% regulatory threshold under SEBI SAST Regulations. KMMF is not part of the promoter group, and the shares were bought through its various mutual fund schemes. The total equity share capital of Home First Finance remains unchanged at 10,39,23,212 shares of Rs. 2 each.
This is a routine institutional disclosure triggered by KMMF crossing the 5% shareholding mark. It signals continued institutional confidence in the affordable housing finance company but has no direct impact on retail shareholders or the stock price. Investors may note that a major mutual fund has built a meaningful stake just above the disclosure threshold.
