Paytm’s parent company, One 97 Communications Limited, has officially become an Indian Owned and Controlled Company (IOCC). This shift happened after domestic investors collectively crossed the 50% ownership mark, holding 50.3% of the company’s equity as of Q4 FY2026.

The company filed its updated shareholding pattern with BSE and NSE on April 14, 2026. The filing confirmed that Indian institutional ownership has been steadily rising, moving from 14% in Q4 FY2025 to over 23% by Q4 FY2026.

Mutual funds have played a big role in this change. Around 41 Indian mutual funds now hold shares in Paytm, with their combined stake going up to 16.6% in the latest quarter. Domestic insurance companies have also increased their exposure, with their combined holding reaching 5.1%.

The growing confidence of Indian institutional money, including mutual funds and insurers, signals a broader change in how domestic capital is viewing Paytm after a difficult couple of years.
