During the March 2026 quarter, the Government of India increased its stake in several leading companies, notably Coal India, ONGC, and NTPC. This growth in government holdings was supported by rising prices in the power, energy, and metal sectors, even as the broader market experienced volatility. These changes reflect the government's continued investment in strategic sectors critical to India's energy and industrial infrastructure. The increased value of government holdings highlights the importance of these companies in the national economy and their role in supporting energy security and industrial growth. Despite broader market volatility, rising prices in power, energy and metal stocks boosted the value of Government of India holdings during the March 2026 quarter, led by ONGC, NTPC and Coal India.
