The holding of domestic institutions has also came down during this period.

Small investors (defined as those holding up to Rs. 1 lakh worth shares in a company), and HNIs (individuals with shares worth over Rs. 1 lakh) have been raising their respective stakes in Vijay Mallya-led Kingfisher Airlines since April-June quarter of 2012.
Besides, the latest shareholding data of Kingfisher shows that the number of small individual and HNI shareholders have also increased considerably during this time.
The total promoter holding declined to 32.12% in the January-March quarter from 35.83% in December quarter.
The promoters have pledged 89% of their shares with various lenders, leaving them with a non-encumbered stake of just 3.55%.

The stake of domestic institutional investors slipped marginally to 13.06% in December quarter from 13.15% in the preceding three months.
The operations of Kingfisher remains disrupted since September 30, first due to a strike by its engineers and pilots, and then the lockout declared by the management.
This was followed by suspension of its flying permit by Directorate General of Civil Aviation after the carrier failed to produce a plan to revive its operations.
Shares of Kingfisher have declined by 54% during the quarter under review. The company's scrip is currently trading at Rs. 7 level.
