Kalyan Jewellers slides as mutual fund seen selling 5 crore shares via block deal
Kalyan Jewellers shares fell after reports a domestic mutual fund may sell ~5 crore shares via a discounted block deal, creating near-term supply overhang after a >50% monthly rally. The potential 8–10% discount and proximity to the Aug 4 earnings release raise short-term execution and sentiment risks despite Citi's reiterated Buy view. The headline may marginally weigh on India retail/consumer risk appetite.
