Whirlpool Mauritius Offloads 14.3 Million Shares in Whirlpool of India via Bulk Deal

 Inside the announcement  
According to Reuters, Business Today, and CNBC-TV18, Whirlpool Mauritius executed the bulk deal on November 27, 2025, offloading nearly 7.5% of Whirlpool of India’s equity. The sale was priced at a discount to the previous closing, triggering sharp declines in the stock, which fell 10–13% in early trade.  

The parent company had earlier announced plans to reduce its stake in Whirlpool of India from 51% to around 20% by the end of 2025. This latest divestment aligns with that strategy, with proceeds expected to support global restructuring and capital allocation priorities.
