Share Lock-In Expiry Week: ₹14,000 Crore Shares Hit The Market
Attention, traders! It’s time to be prepared for the biggest action in the market this week, as 14 companies are releasing a huge amount of shares worth almost ₹14,000 crore. The market will be full of action, and big players like Meesho, Tata Capital, LG Electronics India, and WeWork India are among the ones making the most noise, particularly with Tata Capital and LG being part of the biggest IPOs of 2025. It’s not to say that unlocking will mean that everyone will sell off their shares right away, but rather that the trading battle is just starting here.
Certain players will be quick to take the risk for the sake of some fast money, while others will be quietly sitting, observing gradually the building of the market through their patience. So, get ready for the market to be nervous, prices to go up and down, and the fresh liquidity to mix portfolios. It’s going to be a very tricky situation for every trader, filled with opportunities and risks at the same time, where only the right timing, the right strategy, and the right nerves of steel could make the difference between a great profit and being left behind. So, don’t take your eyes off your screens because the week ahead is going to be nothing short of spectacular!
