[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories are expected to be in focus in Tuesday’s trading session after the company issued a clarification denying recent media reports about a major workforce cost cut. In an exchange filing, the pharmaceutical major responded to a news article published in Business Standard on April 13, which claimed that Dr. Reddy’s had reduced its workforce costs by 25% amid margin pressures linked to Revlimid. The company categorically denied the claim, stating the news item is “factually incorrect” and that it “categorically denies” both the reported workforce cost reduction and the other assertions made in the article. “This is in reference to Regulation 30(11) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI Listing Regulations”) regarding a news item published in Business Standard (newspaper/ media) on April 13, 2025, with the heading “DRL trims workforce costs by 25% amid Revlimid-l...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of the IPO-bound National Stock Exchange of India will be easily transferable between investors starting Monday, as the bourse moves from an exchange approval-based system to the delivery instruction slip (DIS) mechanism. The shift is expected to shrink share-transfer timelines from as long as six months to just 3 to 5 days, streamlining transactions in the highly sought-after unlisted market. “Given Sebi’s circular dated October 14, 2024, the ISIN of NSE will be activated/unfrozen with effect from Monday, March 24,” the exchange said in a message to shareholders. “Accordingly, from Monday, the shares of NSE can be transferred through the DIS mechanism without following the existing Stage 1/Stage 2 process.” Under the existing system, share transfers require a two-stage process—first, a know-your-customer (KYC) check, followed by a “fit and proper” assessment. The exchange has been conducting these checks manually, causing signific...

UltraTech will now have to pare its holding in India Cements to less than 75% to comply with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India's minimum public shareholding norms.
