Promoter shareholding in Hindustan Tin Works Ltd. increased slightly (+0.06% YoY and QoQ), but institutional investors decreased their stake significantly (-1.43% YoY and -0.66% QoQ), indicating a lack of confidence from smart money.

Sector averages show no change in promoter and institutional holdings, suggesting that Hindustan Tin is underperforming relative to the sector's stability.

Public participation has increased (+2.34% YoY), which may indicate retail investors are reacting to trends rather than leading them, reinforcing the broad-based selling sentiment.
