I have been a long time holder in this stock and will vouch that the promoters are only interested in making a fortune for their close family members …every 5 years they give bonus but other than that they have too much value unlocking possible but are reluctant to do that since they want to play under the hood. Many representations were sent to get themselves listed on NSE but they were least bothered.
