Paisalo Digital was locked in 20% upper circuit at Rs 71.06 after the promoter shareholding in the company increased to 46.72% in Q1 FY27 from 41.75% in FY26 following a series of open-market acquisitions.

The June 2026 quarter saw the promoter group's shareholding increase by 4.97% through open-market purchases.

The continued rise in promoter ownership, from around 26% in FY19 to its current level of 46.72%, reflects sustained confidence in the company's long-term business strategy and execution.
