Stocks to watch on Tuesday

MUMBAI: Reliance Industries’ special economic zone in Raigad, Maharashtra, may take off if the company announces a better compensation for farmers willing to part with their land, media reports quoted ministers in the state government as saying.

According to the rehabilitation package announced by RIL in 2006, the displaced farmers will be given Rs 25,00,000 per hectare. RIL also promised a job to one person in each family in the industries that came up in the zone. This may give a boost to the RIL stock, which ended down 2.45 per cent at Rs 1,884.10 on BSE Monday.

The promoters of Emami, Agarwals, have nearly doubled the open offer to acquire 20 per cent stake in ayurvedic pharma firm, Zandu Pharmaceutical Works. The offer was raised to Rs 15,000 a share from Rs 7,315 earlier.

The attempts of Agarwals to enter the board of Zandu have been stalled by the Parekhs, who have raised their stake by nearly 2 per cent in the past couple of months through open market purchases. Emami currently holds 27.5 per cent stake in Zandu while the Parekhs hold over 40 per cent in the company.

On Monday, Zandu shares fell by 5 per cent to close at Rs 16,728 on the BSE, while Emami fell by 2.9 per cent to Rs 279.60. Zandu shares had touched a high of Rs 24,643 on BSE on July 24.
