Big Block Deals: BNP Paribas Shifts Bets!
A block deal is when big investors buy or sell a large chunk of shares in one go on the stock exchange. On 26 Aug 2025, BNP Paribas made big moves: • Swiggy – Sold shares worth ₹1,158 cr ➝ likely profit booking after recent gains. • Vishal Mega Mart – Sold ₹845 cr ➝ exit to reshuffle portfolio. • Waaree Energies – Sold ₹583 cr ➝ cashing out part of holdings at high valuations. • Hitachi Energy – Sold ₹829 cr ➝ partial stake sale, probably to release capital. • Eternal (Zomato’s parent) – Bought ₹3,220 cr ➝ strong bullish bet on Zomato’s future growth. In short: BNP Paribas booked profits and freed up capital in multiple companies, while rotating money into Zomato’s parent Eternal for long-term growth potential.
