27-Feb-26   12:58 Hrs IST
According to media reports, the floor price for the transaction was set at Rs 115 per share, implying a discount of nearly 10% to the previous closing price of Rs 127.60. The total size of the block deal is estimated at around Rs 3,508 crore, with a 150-day lock-in applicable on the remaining stake.

Samayat Services LLP, which held a 54.09% stake in Vishal Mega Mart as of 31 December 2025, planned to offload up to 30.5 crore shares at Rs 115 each. At the indicated price, the transaction would fetch approximately Rs 3,508 crore for the promoter entity.

Kotak Securities and Morgan Stanley India Company acted as key advisors to the deal.

Samayat Services LLP has been gradually trimming its holding in the company since Vishal Mega Mart's listing in December 2024. In June 2025, it had sold around 90 crore shares, representing a 19.6% stake, for about Rs 10,220 crore. Several large institutional investors, including SBI Mutual Fund and HDFC Mutual Fund, had participated in that earlier transaction.

Vishal Mega Mart is a leading retail player. It offers products across three major product categories, i.e., apparel, general merchandise and FMCG, through a pan-India network of 771 Vishal Mega Mart stores as of 31 December 2025 and Vishal Mega Mart mobile application and website.

It reported a 19.10% rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 312.92 crore in Q3 FY26, compared with Rs 262.72 crore posted in Q3 FY25. Revenue from operations rose 17.04% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 3,670.41 crore in Q3 FY26.
