The Company was listed on NSE SME Platform on Monday, January 09, 2017. In terms of present rules/regulations, the Equity Shares listed on SME platform can be migrated to Main Board of Stock Exchange after an initial period of 2 years from the date of listing.

Your company is well poised to migrate on the Main Board of NSE and the eligibility criteria for migration on Main Board are fulfilled. The listing on Main Board of NSE will make your company one of the prestigious company listed on one of the largest Stock Exchange of India i.e. NSE. The listing on Main Board is likely to have wider participation from investors at large and trading in the equity shares of the company on the Main Board will go on the long way in enchanting the image and goodwill of the company. The benefits of listing on Main Board in the form of market capitalization, enhanced liquidity, larger participation, visibility etc., will accrue to the shareholders or the company and will

The members are, therefore, requested to accord their approval, for the purpose migration of the Company's present listing from SME Platform of NSE Ltd. to Main Board of NSE Ltd. as set out in the resolution.
