Star Health shareholding: Star Health and Allied Insurance Company share price declined over 1% on Friday, July 23, after ace investor Rekha Jhunjhunwala pared her stake in Star Health and Allied Insurance Company significantly during the June quarter of FY27, according to the company’s latest shareholding data.
Her shareholding fell to 3.04% as of June 30, 2026, from 15.57% at the end of the March quarter, indicating a sale of nearly 7.38 crore shares during the quarter.
The latest shareholding pattern also showed that the promoter holding under Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Associates dropped to nil by the end of the June quarter, compared with 1.55% as of March 31, 2026.
The exact dates of Rekha Jhunjhunwala’s share sales and the prices at which the transactions were executed were not immediately available. With June quarter shareholding disclosures still being filed by listed companies, additional changes to her investment portfolio cannot be ruled out.
The Jhunjhunwala family’s investment in Star Health goes back to before the insurer’s stock market listing. The company’s red herring prospectus (RHP) for its 2021 IPO showed that the late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala owned a 14.98% stake in the company.
Since then, the Jhunjhunwala family has actively reshuffled its holdings in the company. Rekha Jhunjhunwala raised her personal stake from 3.04% in the September quarter of FY26 to 15.57% by the December quarter, before bringing it back down sharply during the June quarter of FY27.
As per the latest corporate shareholding disclosures, Rekha Jhunjhunwala has publicly disclosed holdings in 26 listed companies, with a combined portfolio value of more than ₹47,085.4 crore.
Her portfolio includes investments in Titan, Tata Motors PV, Metro Brands, Nazara Technologies, NCC, Canara Bank, Aptech, Crisil, Federal Bank, Fortis Healthcare, Indian Hotels Company, Jubilant Pharmova, Tata Communications and Wockhardt, among several other companies.
