On BSE, 1.21 crore shares were traded in the counter. The scrip had an average daily volume of 6.33 lakh shares in the past one quarter.

According to a report, some high net worth individuals (HNIs) had borrowed money from a couple of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) by pledging their shares.

Reports quoted a Core Projects spokesperson as saying that the company was unaware of any margin calls. However, in his opinion, the steep fall in the stock price was perhaps due to liquidation of shares, which rose out of the conversion of foreign currency convertible bond (FCCBs). The company had issued FCCBs worth $80 million in May last year, with a conversion price of Rs 167.

A total of 16.75 lakh shares were converted out of these FCCBs in the past one month, the report added.

Core Projects and Technologies’ net profit fell 4% to Rs 13.32 crore on a 25.70% rise in sales to Rs 64.90 crore in Q1 June 2008 over Q4 March 2008.
