Reddy held a 3.36% stake in the company as on 30 June.
The large shareholders' group—known as 'promoters or promoters group' in India—will reduce their stake to 28% from 29.3% currently, Apollo Hospitals said in the exchange filing. The proceeds will be used to reduce outstanding debt of the promoter group. There are no plans to reduce the stake further.
