👉 Sun Pharmaceutical Industries’ plans to consolidate its subsidiaries have hit a roadblock after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) rejected a proposal in which India’s biggest drug-maker sought to demerge an overseas unit. The company had approached the Ahmedabad bench of NCLT for an approval to transfer investment undertakings from Sun Pharma to its Netherlands-based wholly-owned subsidiary. Sun Pharma now has the option to challenge the NCLT ruling in higher courts.

👉 Stocks in the news: Sun Pharma , RCom, YES Bank, Tata Motors and SAIL - Nifty futures on the Singapore Exchange traded 6 points, or 0.50 per cent, lower at 12,239, indicating a gap-down start for Dalal Street. Here are a few stocks which may buzz the most in today’s trade.

👉 The NCLAT has dismissed petitions filed by the Income Tax Department, which raised objection over the approval granted to Reliance Jio Infocomm scheme to hive off its fiber and tower business into two separate units. The Ahmedabad-bench of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had earlier this year granted permission to the composite scheme of arrangement, through which two companies were proposed to be demerged -- Jio Digital Fibre Pvt Ltd and Reliance Jio Infratel Pvt Ltd.
