Review By Dilip Davda on January 22, 2020
• ITI Ltd. currently has diversified activities.
• Through FPO it is getting funds for its growth plans.
• FPO will also help in reducing GoI holding below 75%
• According to management, H2 is always better than H1.
• The FPO price band is an investor-friendly gesture by the company.
