On Monday, talk of lenders diluting the shares that were pledged by promoters in the secondary market triggered a panic for the stock, which tumbled to a low of Rs 99 on the BSE after opening around Rs 287.
Though the stock is not traded under F&O list directly, since it is a part of CNX-IT, which has derivatives contracts, no circuit filter is applicable to the stock.
The company had on Monday after market hours clarified that the financial institutions with whom the promoters have pledged are continue to hold the shares.
“The company’s business model continues to be intact with its strong order book of around Rs 1,000 crore from India spanning across next five years and about Rs 540 crore from the US,’’ it further added.
