Insider trading disclosure statistics

By Gunpowder Editorial ·Data through

Gunpowder Alerts has analyzed 675 insider trading filings since February 2026 — 75% scored neutral, 15% positive, and the median materiality score is 3 out of 10.

When promoters, directors, or large shareholders of an Indian listed company trade its shares, SEBI’s disclosure regimes put it on the public record: PIT regulations cover insider trades, SAST regulations cover substantial stake build-ups and sell-downs. Watching these filings is the closest the market gets to reading insiders’ minds.

The numbers below cover the insider-trading and SAST disclosures Gunpowder has analyzed, with sentiment and materiality assigned at analysis time. They describe the analyzed corpus, not every disclosure filed with the exchanges.
