I have started to see some very difficult to understand fact about the company, I intend to post these here.

1) Indian Railway is paying 4 Cr per acre While company recently sold 150 Acre of same parcel in total consideration of 440 Cr. Has government started paying at market rate or part of payment is not not reported by the company?

2) How market reacted around this announcement link






In India all real-estate deals have major portion in black… so this is quite expected…

The other thing to look here is how the gross block has increased over the years. It seems they have been capitalizing things and might be hiding losses.
