 Comment Ramesh Taurani, one of the promoters, is an accused in the Gulshan Kumar murder case. Accounting is a mess: interest cost doesn't add up, huge unsecured loan from promoters, transactions with related parties, income tax liability of Rs 101 million. Risky business. Ambitious expansion. Expensive pricing. Low floating stock leaves scope for price rise.
