Volume No : 2           June 2010

 

 

Dear Members

The Indian bourses regained its 17,000 mark last week. Strong auto & cement sales in May, robust GDP growth data for Q4 March, 2010 and recovery in world stocks aided the rally. The economy expanded 7.4% above the government forecast of 7.2% for the financial year April 2009 to March 2010.

 

All listed companies are now required to maintain a minimum public float of 25%. Existing listed companies having less than 25% holding have to reach the stipulated level by an annual addition of not less than 5% to public holding.

 

Nothing much to report on regulatory front.

 

As communicated earlier, we shall meet at the Training program on “New IPO process” scheduled on 10th June @ Matoshree, followed by the meeting with the leadership team post lunch. Minutes of the same will be shared with all of you separately.

 

More news in weeks to come……

With best regards
