Record alert! Dalal Street scores a screamer, from a Voda assist

Mumbai: Indian stock markets hit a milestone on Wednesday, executing block deals worth nearly ₹23,000 crore, the highest in a single day, largely on account of Vodafone Group‘s sale of a stake in Indus Towers. In all, five major block deals were transacted, reflecting growing confidence among promoters, private equity funds and large institutional investors. The surge in block deal activity highlights robust demand from both domestic and foreign institutions seeking to execute large transactions through this avenue.
