In a separate communication, carefully-worded, Bajaj Hindusthan clarified that “till date, the Board of Directors of the Company has not considered and/or taken any decision in regard to the matter relating to acquisition of stake in Balrampur Chini from its existing promoters”, as reported by a section of media.
However, Bajaj Hindusthan gained 0.15 per cent to close at Rs 196.55.
