Likely market impact

This is a significant FII accumulation in ITC, a large-cap FMCG stock. The crossing of the 5% threshold by a high-profile foreign investor signals continued institutional confidence in ITC. Further buying by GQG could trigger additional disclosures as they approach the 10% mark, which may add to positive sentiment around the stock.
