Several major shareholders and promoters pared their holdings in listed companies through block and bulk deals on June 23, triggering sharp movements in select stocks.

The sale represented a 1.66% stake in the mining and metals company and was executed at an average price of Rs 291.36 per share, generating proceeds of nearly Rs 1,896 crore.
The stake sale weighed on investor sentiment, with Vedanta shares tumbling nearly 8% to Rs 281.7 on the NSE amid heavy trading activity.
