Convertible warrants

The Chairman and Managing Director of ICSA India, Mr G. Bala Reddy, said: “It is our privilege to get associated with international investment companies like these. This reasserts the confidence of investors in the long term growth of ICSA.”

This move would help ICSA build further on its strengths for providing products to the global marketplace.
