Mr C. J. George, Managing Director said, “While we have seen a marginal improvement in top line and a significant growth in profitability on a sequential basis compared to the first quarter, the decline in stock market volume continues to be a matter of concern to us. Once the global financial and commodities markets settle down, we expect a sharp recovery of volumes in the Indian stock markets.” — Our Bureau
