This week’s market activity will be shaped by multiple triggers, one of the most notable being the lock-in expiry of four companies, including a massive release from NTPC Green Energy. Lock-in expiry events often draw investor attention due to the potential impact on stock liquidity and market supply.
What Is a Lock-In Expiry?
A lock-in expiry marks the end of a period during which certain shares—typically belonging to promoters, pre-IPO investors, or anchor investors—cannot be traded.
Once this period ends, these restricted shares become eligible for sale on the open market.
Important: Lock-in expiry does not guarantee immediate selling; it only signifies that trading is now permitted.
All valuations below are based on Friday’s closing prices.
