PNB Housing Finance Shares Plummet Amid Block Deal Speculation
Real Estate News:PNB Housing Finance Ltd shares took a hit on Tuesday, declining over 2% in trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) amidst a surge in turnover. This sudden downturn followed a media report suggesting that Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, was looking to offload a significant 12.8% stake in the state-run housing finance company. According to reports, Carlyle Group had increased the block deal size to 12.8% from its initial 6.4%, with the offer size totalling a staggering Rs 2,511 crore, up from Rs 1,256 crore earlier.
