ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has disclosed a net acquisition of 88,84,696 equity shares (2.03%) in V-Guard Industries Ltd via the secondary market between October 21, 2025 and January 19, 2026. This triggered a Regulation 29(2) SAST disclosure because the increase exceeded 2% of paid-up capital. As a result, the fund's total holding rose from 2,18,43,603 shares (5.01%) to 3,07,28,299 shares (7.04%). The acquisition is purely from an investment perspective and not aimed at gaining control. On January 19, 2026 alone, the fund bought 1,52,059 shares, which was the immediate trigger for the disclosure.
A large domestic mutual fund steadily increasing its stake signals institutional confidence in V-Guard's fundamentals. With FII-style holdings now at 7.04%, the stock may attract positive momentum, though no controlling interest is being sought.
