Shares of Allied Digital, the Mumbai-based systems integrator and provider of IT infrastructure management services, have been witnessing higher volumes on the bourses.

According to marker sources, the company is close to buying out an arm of a Nasdaq-listed IT company, which has revenues of more than $300 million. Allied would pick up more than 80 per cent stake in the target company.

This acquisition could help the company, which generates majority revenues from the domestic market, to increase the overseas component of revenues. A formal announcement on this effect could happen in the next couple of days, according to market men tracking this space

However, officials from Allied Digital were not available for comment.

The company stock was on a spiralling spree last week; it rose by 8.44 per cent on a week-ago basis.

On Wednesday, the Allied Digital stock was up 1.75 per cent or 14.45 points to close at Rs 840 on the BSE.
