Market Mood: Selling on Every Rise, 23,000 in Focus
Indian equity markets settled lower on Thursday’s weekly options expiry, weighed down by persistent weak global cues. The pattern remains consistent; bears are selling into every recovery, leaving bulls little room to push higher.
Rotational buying in select heavyweight stocks is limiting the pace of the fall, but analysts warn that a decisive close below 23,000 on the Nifty50 could trigger the next corrective leg downward. On the upside, 23,500 is seen as the immediate resistance cap.
Profit booking in broader indices, which had been outperforming large-caps earlier, is adding a fresh layer of concern for market participants heading into next week.
Block Deal Table: What Got Traded on June 12

Lenskart: ADIA-Backed Trust Exits ₹1,960 Crore Stake
Platinum Jasmine A 2018 Trust, backed by Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), offloaded a 2.3% stake in Lenskart Solutions on Thursday through a block deal on the exchanges. The seller moved 4 crore shares at ₹490 apiece, against Lenskart’s previous closing price of ₹500.15, a discount of approximately 2%.
The total transaction value stood at ₹1,960 crore, making it one of the larger secondary market exits in recent sessions. Domestic institutional investors and foreign portfolio investors are believed to have absorbed the block on the buy side, though exchange disclosures confirming the counterparties were awaited at the time of publication.
Lenskart, India’s dominant omni-channel eyewear brand, has attracted significant institutional interest over the past two years. ADIA’s exit at this scale signals portfolio rebalancing rather than a fundamental shift in the company’s growth story.
GNG Electronics: Promoter Sells ₹175 Crore Block Post Listing
Shares of GNG Electronics, the recently listed refurbished electronics company, saw a promoter-driven block deal worth ₹175 crore on Thursday. Promoter Vidhi S Khandelwal sold 44.87 lakh shares at ₹390 per share, as per exchange data.
Multiple domestic mutual funds and foreign investors picked up shares on the buy side. GNG Electronics has drawn attention since its IPO for being the first listed play on India’s rapidly growing refurbished and certified pre-owned electronics market.
A promoter sell-down shortly after listing is not uncommon and typically reflects pre-planned partial monetisation rather than a loss of confidence in the business.
Vedanta Demerger: Four New Stocks List on June 15 — What Investors Need to Know
The most significant corporate event in focus over the next 48 hours is Vedanta’s long-awaited demerger reaching its final stage. On June 15, 2026, four newly created entities will begin trading on Indian stock exchanges:
| New Entity | Business Vertical |
|---|---|
| Vedanta Aluminium Metal (VAML) | Aluminium smelting and value-added products |
| Vedanta Oil & Gas (VOGL) | Upstream oil & gas exploration and production |
| Vedanta Power | Power generation (thermal and renewable) |
| Vedanta Iron & Steel (VISL) | Iron ore mining and steel operations |
This marks the conclusion of one of India’s largest corporate restructurings in the metals, mining, and natural resources sector. Existing Vedanta shareholders will receive shares in the demerged entities based on the approved demerger ratio.
Investors holding Vedanta (VEDL) should verify their demat account status and ensure their broker has processed the entitlement correctly before June 15. Price discovery for all four entities will happen on listing day; expect elevated volatility.

RIL, Vedanta, Adani Eye Andhra Pradesh’s Rare-Earth Reserves
In a development with long-term strategic implications, Reliance Industries (RIL), Vedanta, and Adani Group have all expressed interest in developing processing facilities for rare-earth minerals from Andhra Pradesh’s significant reserves, Reuters reported Thursday.
Rare-earth elements are critical inputs for electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, defence electronics, and advanced semiconductors, sectors where India is actively working to build domestic supply chain depth. Andhra Pradesh holds meaningful deposits, and government policy has been nudging private capital toward this sector.

Bottom Line
June 11 was a session shaped by institutional flows under mild market stress, with FII outflows; selective domestic absorption; and stock-specific triggers from block-deal and corporate-action activity, including Lenskart and GNG Electronics, alongside Vedanta’s demerger nearing completion.
With Nifty50 hovering around the 23,000 zone, the next sessions are likely to remain range-sensitive as traders recalibrate positioning. Vedanta shareholders may see elevated volatility during the listing phase of the new entities from June 15, as price discovery across multiple counters could be uneven and liquidity-driven.
