Wealthy investors in India have made significant moves, investing over $1 billion (₹9,120 crore) into ten stocks even as their overall market holdings dropped by 15.31%. Data shows that while the high-net-worth individual (HNI) share on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) decreased from 2.03% to 1.99%, they have strategically focused on specific companies. Avenue Supermarts led the purchases with ₹4,981 crore, increasing its shareholding from 1.1 crore to 2.4 crore shares. Other notable investments included Lloyds Metals & Energy and Patanjali Foods, which saw net buys of ₹1,021 crore and ₹639 crore, respectively, despite price declines. On the selling side, HNIs exited stocks worth ₹5,400 crore, with Waaree Energies experiencing the largest sell-off at ₹1,061 crore, even as its stock rose by 4.77%. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic about the Indian market, emphasizing the importance of selective investment strategies in light of macroeconomic risks.
