In a filing to BSE, the company said its board had on Tuesday considered proposed issues relating to buyback of securities, interim
dividend and bonus issue of securities on merit basis. Intense deliberations on the issues were initiated with stakeholders both internal
and external including investors and lenders, it said. "The matter was intensely debated in context of current situation and future vision
