This stake sale buzz follows Whirlpool Corporation's earlier announcement during its Q4 earnings release on 29 January 2025, where it disclosed plans to reduce its holding in the Indian subsidiary to about 20% by mid-to-late 2025 via one or more market transactions. The deal may involve multiple funds jointly acquiring the stake, with Whirlpool Corporation expressing interest in remaining the largest shareholder.
Despite the sell-down plans, Whirlpool Corporation underlined its continued confidence in the Indian market, calling it a significant marketplace for growth. The U.S. parent also highlighted its commitment to Whirlpool India's expansion, citing new product launches and the recent acquisition of Elica India as key steps forward.

We intend the anticipated sell-down to result in autonomy for Whirlpool India to adjust to the ever-evolving industry conditions, enabling Whirlpool India to focus on accelerated growth and utilise its well-funded business to invest further in the business, Whirlpool Corporation stated in its earlier release.

ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
