Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have increased their holdings to more than 50 percent in three major companies during the first quarter of FY26, signaling strong conviction in their long-term growth prospects. The three companies are UTI Asset Management Company (UTI AMC), Crompton Greaves Consumer Electrical, and Coforge Limited.

UTI AMC tops the list with DIIs holding 59.5 percent. The company, one of India’s oldest and largest asset managers, oversees assets worth nearly ₹22 lakh crore. Its mutual fund assets under management rose 16.2 percent year-on-year to ₹3.61 lakh crore, reflecting consistent growth in investor inflows.

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electrical has also seen a significant increase in DII stake, which now stands at 58.9 percent. The company posted a 5 percent rise in revenue and nearly 27 percent growth in net profit for the recent quarter. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 37.4, it remains attractively valued compared to industry peers.

Coforge Limited, a leading IT services provider, recorded a DII stake of 52.3 percent. Known for its strong export-led business and stable client base, the company continues to attract institutional interest amid robust demand for technology services.

Apart from these, companies like TeamLease Services are also close to crossing the 50 percent mark in DII ownership.

Overall, DIIs purchased equities worth ₹1.17 lakh crore in Q1 FY26, slightly higher than ₹1.16 lakh crore in Q4 FY25. Analysts note that institutional buying has been focused on reinforcing high-conviction holdings rather than diversifying into new names, especially in a volatile market environment.

Market experts say such high levels of DII ownership indicate strong institutional trust in these businesses, particularly at a time when foreign institutional investor flows have been unpredictable. The focus on companies with solid financial performance, earnings visibility, and durable business models suggests that DIIs are positioning for steady, earnings-led growth through the rest of FY26.
