Shares of JB Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals will remain in focus, as its board meets on Friday to consider a proposal of buyback. Shareholders would be keen to know the size and price of the buyback issue, besides its promoters' interest.

The mode of buyback - whether through open market purchase or by tender process, will also be watched.

Last year, JB Chemicals had concluded its ₹50-crore buyback, buying back 12.01 crore shares at ₹400/share through the tender route.
