The full read
Swagat Trexim Private Limited sold another 12.89 million shares (2.27%) of MSP Steel & Power between June 11 and 18. That follows an identical sale earlier this month. The non-promoter investor's holding dropped from 3.71% to 1.44% in just two weeks. That's a 61% reduction in two trades. A rapid exit.
The estimated sale value of ₹52 crore is 2.1% of the company's ₹2,512 crore market cap. For context, the company reported net profit of ₹85 crore in the March quarter, so two weeks of selling by one shareholder represents a meaningful overhang. Yet this is a routine disclosure. The company's operations remain unchanged (sales of ₹816 crore in March). The pattern, not the size, is what holders should watch.
