10 BSE PSU index constituents have revived their shareholding pattern where five stocks saw mutual funds (MFs) rates cut and six stocks saw foreign portfolio investors reducing stakes in the quarter gone by. In most cases, however, the quantum change was insignificant.
In the case of Rites Ltd, MFs cut exposure in the railway counter to 2.83 percent in the September quarter from 3.32 percent in the June quarter, down 0.49 percent sequentially. FPIs also reduced stake in the PSU by 30 basis points to 3.2 percent from 3.5 percent earlier. Retail investors were gung-ho, as they upped their stake in Rites by 119 basis points to 7.05 percent from 6.55 percent.

Many PSU stocks have seen sharp corrections of late amid concern over their prevailing valuations. Kotak Institutional Equities in a recent note said that the government has not had any compulsion to sell stakes in PSUs. The stratospheric valuations of certain PSUs may not hold up with large government stake sales, it said.
