On January 7, the stock dived 20 per cent after its board approved a dividend of ₹150 a share, post receiving a $1.09-billion for the sale of its healthcare operations. However, the Street disappointed with ‘measly’ payout announcement. Approval of 1:1 bonus shares and raising the limit to extend loans, make investments and provide guarantees or security to ₹3,500 crore were also announced.
