According to sources, this could be perhaps the largest number of bidders for a company that is undergoing debt restructuring process under the National Company Law Tribunal. The company was expecting to complete the deal by June, one of the sources said.
Ruchi Soya shares ended up 9.88 per cent at ₹18.35 on a weak BSE, which closed down 1.51 per cent on Friday. The stock opened at 16.95 and traded between Rs 16.95 and Rs 19.10 in intra-day deals.
