Promoters and PE funds offload nearly ₹58,000 crore in August as India’s stock supply swells

AI Market Summary
Large August secondary supply in India—about ₹58,000 crore of promoter and PE/VC selling plus sizable government OFS (notably LIC)—raises near-term liquidity and absorption risk as a heavy IPO/QIP calendar continues. While domestic mutual-fund SIP inflows are supporting demand and broader equities have been rising, the scale and concentration of exits could pressure secondary-market liquidity and widen dispersion across crowded issuances.
