Block deals of this magnitude, especially when accompanied by a sharp price decline, often reflect an existing large shareholder exiting a position, potentially at a discount to the prevailing market price, rather than routine secondary market activity.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange data reviewed did not identify the specific buyer and seller in these transactions, which is typical for same-day block deal disclosures before the updated shareholding pattern is filed. Investors tracking the EPL share price should watch for this follow-up disclosure to understand who was on either side of the trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\">Explore Univest Screeners to Find Your Next Stock Pick<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EPL_Share_Price_52-Week_Range_and_Recent_Volatility\"><\/span><strong>EPL Share Price: 52-Week Range and Recent Volatility<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The stock touched an intraday high of Rs 248.60 and a low of Rs 237.55 during Monday&#8217;s session.
