The stock’s sell quantity (25.75 lakh shares) outweighed its buy quantity (16.30 lakh shares), signaling cautious sentiment following the press release on promoter warrants. This imbalance contributed to pressure on the stock price despite management’s clarification on capital preservation and strategic agility.
