Bhavish Aggarwal is selling his shares in stages, totaling around 68 million shares so far. He sold 41.9 million shares on Wednesday at ₹33.96 per share and 26.2 million shares the previous day for ₹34.99 per share. This sale is intended to completely remove any restrictions on his stock, which could cause uncertainty in the company’s value.
The company’s market value is currently ₹13,951.45 crore. The high point for the stock was ₹99.9, and the lowest point was ₹31.54. Importantly, the company’s long-term goals remain unchanged – to become a leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
The company assures investors that this action doesn’t change their long-term vision or strategy. They want to operate without any financial “leverage” that could disrupt the business. The company’s key focus is still on developing and selling electric vehicles in India and around the world.
Eliminating stock pledges strengthens investor confidence and supports the company’s future growth.
