In terms of numbers also, in roughly half of the companies, promoters have a majority stake. The incidence of majority promoter ownership is more prevalent in case of large companies with more than Rs. 50 crores market capitalisation (Table- VI). Promoter’s stake, however, need not always be held by the promoters themselves in their personal capacity. It could be provided by other companies controlled by the group, some of which could be listed companies themselves. Such investments while lessening the risk borne by the promoters enable them exercise disproportionately greater control over the companies involved | AUTHENTICATED .
