A block deal is a large, pre-arranged transaction in which big investors such as institutions, mutual funds, or foreign investors buy or sell a significant quantity of shares in one go. These trades are executed in a separate window to avoid major price swings. Block deals often signal strategic moves, portfolio adjustments, or shifts in institutional confidence.
