However, as per the data available till 31 December 2022, the holding of public shareholders in Patanjali Foods is 19.18 per cent. Following the NCLT process, Patanjali Group acquired Ruchi Soya, now known as Patanjali Foods. When this deal was done in the year 2019, the promoters’ stake in the company was 98.87 per cent. The company was given 18 months and three years to bring down the public shareholding to 10 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively.

Need to sell so many shares now

Patanjali Foods sold shares worth Rs 4,300 crore through a public offer in March 2022. After that the public shareholding in the company had increased to 19.18 per cent.
