Group Co’s disclosure
Another Mahindra Group company, Mahindra Lifespace Developers announced that the holdings of foreign institutional investors as on November 9 had reached 27.22 per cent of the paid-up equity capital.
The disclosure comes in the wake of RBI’s letter to the company sent earlier.
The central bank had in September 2005 notified that FIIs could purchase under portfolio investment scheme equity shares of Mahindra Lifespace through primary markets and stock exchanges in India up to 30 per cent of its paid-up equity capital. RBI had also informed the company in September 2005 and December 2007 that it would be monitoring the FII investments under PIS at sectoral cap or statutory ceiling as applicable and not at the intermediate ceiling fixed by the company.
According to the company’s shareholding pattern as on September 2012, FIIs held a 26.58 per cent stake under the company’s public holding.
The stock of Mahindra Lifespace Developers closed at Rs 413, up 0.60 per cent from its previous close on the BSE on Thursday.
