Two big investment funds have quietly increased their ownership in the newly listed spice maker Shyam Dhani Industries, and fund interest is also growing in toy maker KV Toys India.
Stake Increase in Shyam Dhani Industries
On January 2, Holani Venture Capital and Meru Investment Fund each bought more shares of Shyam Dhani Industries on the open market.
- Holani Venture Capital purchased 250,000 shares (about 1.21% of the company) at ₹119.8 per share, spending roughly ₹2.99 crore.
- Meru Investment Fund bought 400,000 shares (about 1.9% of the company) at the same price, spending about ₹4.79 crore.
Before these purchases, Holani already owned 2.1% and Meru held 1.3% of Shyam Dhani. After the deals, their combined stake is now a little over 3%.
The stock recovered a little, closing at ₹126.75, after falling 5% in each of the two previous sessions. The dip followed a strong debut on December 30, when the share price jumped 99.5% to close at ₹139.65.
Buying Interest in KV Toys India
Fund houses are also buying shares of KV Toys India, a company that makes plastic‑moulded and metal toys.
- Generational Capital Breakout Fund 1 bought 34,800 shares (about 0.55% of the company) at ₹336.85 each, spending roughly ₹1.17 crore.
- Earlier, Royal Alpha Opportunity Fund and Vorton Opportunities Fund together took more than 1.2% of KV Toys.
Despite the buying, KV Toys closed slightly lower at ₹335.55.
Viceroy Hotels Share Activity
Asset Reconstruction Company India sold 1.448 million shares of Viceroy Hotels at ₹130.16 per share, raising about ₹18.85 crore.
Even with the sell‑off, the stock rose 3.86% and ended the day at ₹140.80.
What This Means for Retail Investors
When large funds increase their holdings shortly after a company lists, it can be a sign of confidence in the business’s future. For small investors, watching these moves can help decide whether to consider the stock.
Remember, this is perspective, not a prediction. Do your own research before making any investment decisions.
