As of the March 2026 shareholding pattern, Radiowalla Network Limited had a majority stake held by the promoters at 41.43 percent, foreign institutional investors at 0.57 percent, and the public at 58 percent.  In the holding, Bengal Finance held a 2.22 percent stake in the company, while investor Ashish Kacholia owned a 3.24 percent stake.

The entire stake sold by Bengal Finance & Investment Private Limited was acquired by Amritaanshu Agrawal through the block deal.

As a result, the transaction did not increase the publicly traded supply of shares, which helped support the stock price and contributed to its strong performance during the trading session.

The transaction marks a change in the company’s shareholding, with one institutional investor reducing its stake while a new investor increased its exposure. The bulk deal was executed on July 14 through the NSE.
