Sunil Singhania has bought a 3.6% stake in Paramount Communications, a cable maker with a market cap of about Rs 1,847 crore. The stake is worth about Rs 66.7 crore, and 3.6% of Rs 1,847 crore is about Rs 66.5 crore (my calculation). The transaction date and the price paid per share were not available to me.
Quick Answer
Sunil Singhania has bought a 3.6% stake in Paramount Communications, a cable stock with a market capitalisation of about Rs 1,847 crore. The stake is reported at about Rs 66.7 crore, which matches 3.6% of the market cap at roughly Rs 66.5 crore (my calculation). A bulk or block deal by a well known investor draws attention, but it does not by itself make the stock a buy, and I could not find the transaction date or the price paid. Check the exchange filing for the details before drawing any conclusion.
Sunil Singhania is a well known Indian fund manager who founded Abakkus Asset Manager after a long career at Reliance Mutual Fund, and his portfolio moves are widely tracked. A stake of 3.6% in a small company gets noticed because it suggests conviction. News that Sunil Singhania is buying a company can draw attention to stocks that analysts rarely cover.
Paramount Communications makes electrical and telecom cables, and the stock is a small company. This article sets out the numbers of the deal, what the company does, how to read a stake purchase by a known investor and the risks.
I could not verify which Sunil Singhania entity bought the stake, so I refer to the buyer as reported.

Sunil Singhania Stake in Paramount Communications: The Numbers
| Item | Detail | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer | Sunil Singhania | As reported; the exact entity was not available to me |
| Stake bought | 3.6% | Of the company’s equity |
| Value of stake | About Rs 66.7 crore | As reported |
| Market cap | About Rs 1,847 crore | As reported |
| 3.6% of market cap | About Rs 66.5 crore | My calculation; close to the reported value |
| Implied value of 100% | About Rs 1,853 crore | My calculation: 66.7 divided by 0.036 |
| Transaction date and price | Not available | Check the exchange filing |
The small gap between Rs 66.5 crore and Rs 66.7 crore is explained by rounding of the percentage or by a price different from the closing market cap. Without the price per share, I cannot say what valuation Sunil Singhania paid.
Risk: A stake purchase shows an investor’s interest on a date, not a promise that the stock will rise.

The business description above is general. I did not retrieve the latest results or margins for the company, so please check its filings for revenue, profit and debt.
Cable makers benefit from spending on power grids, renewable energy and real estate, but they depend on commodity prices and on working capital, which can strain margins.
Risk: Copper price swings can compress margins for cable makers when contracts do not pass them on.
How to Read a Stake Purchase by Sunil Singhania
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Was it a bulk deal, block deal or open market buy? | Shows whether it was a negotiated purchase |
| What price did he pay? | Tells you the valuation he accepted |
| Is the stake above 1% of the company? | Shareholdings above 1% are disclosed publicly |
| Is there a lock in or a plan to add? | Indicates intent |
| Does the business support the thesis? | Results and balance sheet should agree |
Following a well known investor can feel like a shortcut, but they hold many positions, may have a longer horizon than you and may buy at a different price. The useful step is to use the news as a prompt to study the company yourself.
Sunil Singhania has a track record of backing small and mid sized companies, but that is not a guarantee for any single holding, including this one.
Risk: Copying an investor’s trade after the price has already reacted means you buy at a different price from the one he paid.

Investor interest can also lift trading volumes for a small stock, which is why the first reaction to Sunil Singhania news is often a spike that fades.
What to Check Before Acting on the Sunil Singhania News
| Check | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Exchange filing for the transaction | NSE and BSE bulk and block deal data |
| Latest quarterly results | Company filings |
| Debt and working capital | Balance sheet |
| Order book and copper exposure | Management commentary |
| Liquidity of the stock | Average daily volume |
Small caps can be illiquid, so a large stake purchase, such as the one by Sunil Singhania, can move the price, and exits can be hard if sentiment turns.
