what is free float in BHEL and who are current buyers

Asked by CNI Follower · 3 months ago · 12-12-2025

Free float and current buying interest in BHEL are as follows:

1. Free float in BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd)

- As per recent NSE/BSE data compiled by MarketScreener, free‑float in BHEL is about 36.8% of total equity. (in.marketscreener.com)

- Promoter (Government of India) stake is stable at 63.17%, so the balance ~36.8% is available as market float with FIIs, DIIs, mutual funds, and public shareholders. (upstox.com)

2. Who are the current buyers (by category & trend)

Based on the latest disclosed shareholding pattern (up to September 2025 quarter):

- Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs)

- DII holding (including mutual funds, insurance, etc.) has risen from about 15.4% (Dec 2024) to 18.5% (Sep 2025), indicating that DIIs have been net buyers over recent quarters. (economictimes.indiatimes.com)

- Mutual Funds (subset of DIIs)

- Mutual fund stake has increased from ~6.37% (Dec 2024) to ~7.64% (Sep 2025), showing consistent MF accumulation. (upstox.com)

- Example (for illustration): In Aug 2025, 75 mutual funds bought and 25 funds sold BHEL, with a net addition of ~17.4 lakh shares. Largest disclosed buyer was Kotak Arbitrage Fund Growth, while Axis Midcap Fund was the largest seller. (trendlyne.com)

- Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)

- FII holding has declined from about 7.98% (Dec 2024) to 6.23% (Sep 2025), implying FIIs have been net sellers, not net buyers, in the recent quarters. (upstox.com)

- Retail / Public shareholders

- Retail & other public shareholding has slipped from ~13.3% (Mar–Dec 2024 range) to ~12.0% (Sep 2025), suggesting some profit‑booking by retail / HNI investors. (upstox.com)

3. Limitations on “current buyers” data

- Real‑time or daily identity of “who is buying” (by name) is not publicly available except when trades qualify as bulk/block deals, and there have been no very recent large bulk/block deals reported in BHEL on NSE/BSE. (trendlyne.com)

- What the market does disclose (with a lag) are:

- Quarterly category‑wise shareholding patterns (Promoter, FII, DII, MF, Public).

- Monthly mutual fund holdings and flows.

- From this, the clear recent trend is: Domestic institutions, especially mutual funds, have been the primary net buyers; FIIs have been net sellers; promoter stake is unchanged.
