Prior to this transaction, the fund held 21,649,099 shares, representing 4.9143% of LEAP India's total voting capital.

While such disclosures about institutional investor activity are routine, the market's immediate reaction can sometimes be mixed. The negative movement in the share price today could be due to broader market sentiment, profit-taking by some investors after the news, or other unrelated factors. The disclosure itself indicates increased interest from a global fund, but the short-term price action reflects the market's current assessment.
