Vishal Mega Mart Shares Fall on Block Deal
Vishal Mega Mart, the giant wholesale company, is back in the spotlight- but this time for a different reason. The stock price dropped 8.2% from its previous value after market opening on Friday, when Samayat Services, a company backed by Kedaara Capital, announced its plan to sell 6.5% of its shares.
The decline has traders closely monitoring the market, causing stock prices to move in smaller increments. Investors now face a decision: buy shares at reduced prices or postpone their investment, while wondering whether the block deal will trigger a temporary market disturbance or simply represent another standard ownership change in the retail giant’s stock distribution.

Historical Stake Reduction: Samayat Services and Vishal Mega Mart in the Spotlight
Samayat Services LLP has been silently decreasing its ownership of Vishal Mega Mart since the company went public in December 2024 and continues to do so. Back in June 2025, it sold a whopping 90 crore shares-nearly 20% of the company-for around ₹10,220 crore, making many mutual funds like SBI and HDFC smile all the way to the ledger. The company uses this method to execute its plan while maintaining control over its stock market operations.
Investors now wonder: will this trend continue, or is it just another chapter in the long-running saga of stake management at India’s mega wholesale mart?
