VIGIL SAST Takeover Disclosures

Who's buying into the stock you hold? Who's selling out?

Under SEBI's Takeover Code (Reg 29), every time someone crosses 5% ownership in a listed company, they have to disclose it. Now live on VIGIL.

Two types of filings: Reg 29(1) is when someone first crosses the 5% threshold. Reg 29(2) is when an existing 5%+ holder changes stake by 2% or more. Both promoters and outsiders have to file.

This catches stuff insider trading data doesn't - mutual funds accumulating, strategic acquirers building positions, lenders enforcing pledged shares. A promoter quietly selling 6% in the open market is a very different signal from a family transfer. An outsider accumulating 12% could be an activist building a position.

Around 10,000 SAST records from the last 2 years. Leaderboards for largest acquisitions, promoter selling, outsider accumulation, new 5%+ stakes. Filter by company, transaction type, promoter/non-promoter, Nifty indices.
