SEBI guideline
According to market regulator SEBI's guideline, it is mandatory for companies to make disclosures to all transactions in a scrip where total quantity of shares bought or sold is more than 0.5 per cent of the number of equity shares of the firm listed on the exchange.
Recording 65 per cent growth, the firm reported Rs 578.32 crore net profit in the first quarter of the current fiscal.
The share sale comes in the midst of the company being indicted by the Karnataka Lokayukta on its report on alleged illegal mining.
The company, however, has refuted the charges saying, “all the transactions have been done in a legally compliant manner.”
The Supreme Court also banned mining of iron ore in Karnataka from where JSW Steel gets a lot of the raw material.
The scrip of the company tumbled again on Tuesday by 2.95 per cent on the BSE to Rs 674.3 over the previous day's closing.
