SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence POLITICAL ECONOMY | PART 1: THE TELECOM TEST The Sangh’s Costliest Blunder: Keeping Narendra Modi in the Chair After Demonetisation and a Trail of U-Turns Two private giants, one state-propped survivor, roughly ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced BSNL revival and support packages (spectrum allocation included), and ₹1.41 lakh crore of AGR dues still on the books: telecom shows what happens when one man’s brand becomes the party’s only policy. This is an argument against Narendra Modi, not against the BJP. SYNOPSIS India’s telecom market has narrowed from a messy but real plurality into two dominant private networks, one weak private survivor kept alive by government equity, and a public operator that has needed about ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced support packages and spectrum allocations, not all of it cash. The 2010 spectrum auctions that started the debt spiral were a UPA-era event, and we say so plainly. But a ...
What is the criterion of putting the shares of some companies in the T-group for weeks?
I had earlier written many times about the "Brinkmanship" of the BSE and NSE officials when throwing stocks in the  T-group is concerned. Hence, this writing will be no different except, that I have put the same question at the end of this write up. 

You must be aware that the BSE and the NSE have a unique-group called T-group, where the stocks of some companies are kept for "Correction" not for days, but sometimes for months, so that their share price probably come to the level, which has been desired by the stock exchanges. The game is governed by some hidden protocols or no one except the stock exchanges officials or their "Friends"know, when a share of a company will come out of this Jail.

What is more interesting is that a particular stock starts to move up or fall down, much before the stock exchanges actually goes in for a formal declaration of putting in or bringing out of the T-group. Now, the question is who benefits from this exercise: obviously those who have insider information or those traders/investors who are in hand and glove, with some of the officials of the surveillance department. Isn't it? 

Look at the volume of some of the shares traded in the T-group: 
(i) Genera Agri Crop Ltd (Rs.4.62)--6843 shares
(ii) Rasoya Proteins (Face Value: Re.1; CMP:Re.0.56)--12.41 lakh shares
(iii) ABL Biotech (Rs.4.75)--0.25 lakh shares
(iii) Alka Diamond (Rs.19)--2 shares
(iv) AI Champdany (Rs.17)--100 shares
(v)  Alpha Hi-Tech (Re.0.76)--700 sahres
(vi) Birla Capital (Face Value: Rs.2; CMP: Re.0.56)--4500 shares
(vii) BKV Industries (Face Value: Re.1; CMP: Rs.3.09)--346 shares
(viii) Bhagwati Oxygen (Rs.48.60)---260
(ix) Bihar Sponge (Rs.3.02)--0.18 lakh shares
(x) Bhagwandas Metal (Rs.8.95)--200 shares and so on.....

I really do not understand the logic of keeping all these shares in the T-group (and many others whose  name do not figure in the above list), for such a long time. This move punctures the shareholders' wealth and should be treated as an economic offence (strictly speaking). 

Anyway, really, pathetic is the management of the Indian Stock Exchanges and therefore, many of the small and mid caps are still trading near their 52-week lows, even when the Nifty and Sensex is near their all-time high.

Will the stock exchanges clarify on what basis a stock is pushed in the T-group and then taken out....?
