Rain Industries’ stock has dropped 12% as a result of a Rs 97 crore loss in the fourth quarter.

Finance expenditures were reported at Rs 119 crore, down from Rs 124 crore in the fourth quarter of 2020. The fall in finance expenses was attributed to a 2.6 percent devaluation of the euro against the Indian rupee, as well as decreased use of working capital borrowings, when compared to the previous quarter.

The transaction will be completed on the condition that the money paid be reinvested in Vodafone Idea as new equity and remitted to Indus Towers to settle Vodafone Idea’s outstanding debts.
As part of the 4.7 percent deal, Vodafone Plc sold a 2.4 percent share in Indus Towers to Bharti Airtel on Thursday. Vodafone Plc held a 28 percent ownership in the tower company before to the transaction, while Bharti Airtel maintained a 42 percent share.
The market extended selling as a result of the Russia-Ukraine issue. Over a hundred small-cap stocks have lost 10% to 22% of their value.
Due to several variables such as the Russia-Ukraine situation, rising crude oil prices, F&O expiry, and persistent FII selling, the market extended its selling for the third consecutive week ended February 25 amid extreme volatility.
The BSE Sensex fell 1,974.45 points (3.41 percent) last week to finish at 55,858.52, while the Nifty50 fell 617.9 points (3.57 percent) to finish at 16,658.40.
