ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, through its various schemes, has reported a net acquisition of 88,84,696 equity shares (2.03%) of V-Guard Industries in the secondary market between October 21, 2025 and January 19, 2026. This includes a specific net buy of 1,52,059 shares on January 19, 2026. As a result, the fund's holding has risen from 5.01% (2,18,43,603 shares) to 7.04% (3,07,28,299 shares), an increase of more than 2% in paid-up capital since the previous disclosure on October 23, 2025. The fund has clarified it is not part of the promoter group and does not seek any controlling interest in the company.
A major institutional investor increasing its stake by over 2% signals growing institutional confidence in V-Guard Industries. The fund is now approaching the 10% disclosure/creeping acquisition threshold, so further buying could trigger additional regulatory disclosures, but it remains a net positive for the stock in the near term.
