On the reaction day the stock moved 0.3 pts more than Nifty Midcap 150 and 0.5 pts less than its Telecom - Cellular & Fixed line services peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Vodafone Idea promoters (10 Vodafone group entities) have created a non-disposal undertaking on 3,280,000,000 shares, about 3.03% of total capital and 18.84% of their own 16.07% holding. The encumbrance is for the benefit of Vodafone Idea itself under the Implementation Agreement, tied to promoter payment obligations from the CLAM amount discharge. Shares are locked in for 5 years. Not a traditional pledge, and well below 50% of promoter holding and 20% of total capital thresholds.
Promoters cannot sell these 3.28B earmarked shares for 5 years. Signals continued support but locks in stake for company benefit.
