ARTICLES
Shareholding Pattern in India- by Venkateswaran R
This article examines the shareholding pattern of companies in India and finds it to be broad based. It highlights that the shareholding
of the Indian households (or the retail individual investors), accounted for only 8.66% of the total equity market capitalization and
14.90% of the total number of shares issued. The low level of shareholding of the Indian households is on account of the fewer
number of investors, stagnant growth of the investor population and smart exits/profit bookings during the course of a year-long
market rally. The article has stressed the need to promote financial literacy and financial inclusion.
