From the shareholding patterns filed for the quarter to Jun 2026, against Mar 2026, by the 24 of 24 companies whose filings for both we hold (100% of the sector's market value), each weighted by its market value. Mutual funds and insurers are part of domestic institutions. Foreign institutions leaves out the shares a depository holds behind ADRs and GDRs, which companies file under a different head from one quarter to the next; those sit in “public and others”. “pp” is percentage points of the company's shares. A holder's share also moves when a company issues or buys back shares; these are the filed figures, not a reading of anyone's intent.
