The Shareholding Pattern is a publicly disclosed breakdown of how a listed company's equity shares are distributed among different categories of investors, including promoters, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs), and the public. In India, listed companies are required by SEBI to publish shareholding patterns on a quarterly basis. Investors analyse these disclosures to track promoter commitment, institutional confidence, and the degree of public float—key inputs for assessing stock liquidity and corporate governance quality.
