Shareholding pattern

Who owns this company and how that has changed.

What shareholding tells you: When promoters (founders/controlling shareholders) increase their stake, it usually signals confidence in the business. Rising FII (foreign funds) interest means international money is moving in. High promoter pledge is a risk — pledged shares can be force-sold if the stock price falls sharply.
