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.

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.

A staggering 3.43 crore PNB Housing Finance shares, worth Rs 2,654.56 crore, changed hands on the BSE. The stock plummeted 2.41% to hit a low of Rs 775, before recovering some ground.
