Bharti Airtel made headlines for a stake sale, where a promoter entity offloaded about 1% of Airtel’s equity. No specific market performance data or stock price details were available for Bharti Airtel on this date.
Brigade Enterprises, another Bengaluru real estate name, launched a premium plotted development project named Brigade Cherry Blossom. Spread over 20 acres with 338 plots in two configurations, the project has a revenue potential of Rs 225 crore.
