Dolly Khanna trimmed her Prakash Industries stake by 2 percentage points and likely exited two stocks entirely in Q1, filings show. The steel sector faces margin pressure from falling global prices.
Dolly Khanna, the Chennai-based value investor known for concentrated bets in small- and mid-cap names, reshuffled her equity portfolio in the quarter ended June 2025. She likely exited two stocks entirely and reduced her holding in Prakash Industries, according to an analysis of the latest shareholding data filed with exchanges.
The two stocks she appears to have sold out of are not named in the available filings. The pattern of her portfolio changes suggests a shift away from cyclical industrial plays toward sectors with stronger cash flow visibility.
Her stake in Prakash Industries, a steel and power company, was trimmed by roughly 2 percentage points from the previous quarter, filings show. The move comes as the steel sector faces margin pressure from falling global prices and higher input costs.
Khanna's portfolio at the end of the March quarter included holdings in companies such as Prakash Industries, Pennar Industries, and Mangalam Cement, among others. The June quarter filings will confirm whether she has added new names to replace the exited positions.
The investor typically holds 8-12 stocks at any given time and makes incremental adjustments rather than wholesale changes. Her exit from two positions suggests a deliberate paring of exposure to segments where the near-term outlook has weakened.
Prakash Industries shares have declined about 12% in the June quarter, underperforming the broader market. The stock trades at roughly 8 times trailing earnings, below its five-year average multiple of 11 times.
