RHI Magnesita block deal: Dalmia Bharat refractories divests 11.11% stake for Rs 826 crore; SBI MF, Bandhan MF among buyers

State Bank of India reported Rs 826 crore, Rs 360 and Rs 379.20, with movement of 3.04% and 11.11% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is -1.1% on the day at ₹948.05, and has returned -8.7% over three months. It sits 23% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved -4.0% over the same period, so State Bank of India is running 4.7 points behind its peers.

This is a Promoter stake / pledge event. Promoters transact with better information than the market. Direction against the price trend is the signal — accumulation into weakness reads differently from a sale into strength. On the day the stock is -1.1%, so a modest reaction.
