Investor interest in unlisted shares has declined sharply, pushing trading volumes down by as much as 70 percent. Lower prices and fewer new offerings have contributed to the slowdown. Activity remains steady for some popular companies, though demand has weakened in certain sectors.
The drop reflects reduced appetite among investors for shares not listed on public exchanges. Market observers link the trend to softer valuations and limited supply of fresh issues entering the segment. Sectors such as defence and hospitality have seen particularly noticeable softening in buyer interest.
