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.
