Likely market impact

HDFC Mutual Fund, a major domestic institutional investor, is steadily building its stake and is now within striking distance of the 10% disclosure threshold. Continued buying from a large institutional fund is generally viewed as a positive signal by retail investors, though the stock-split effect partly explains the percentage increase.
