Jai Corp Ltd (Rs.72.95) made a high of Rs.1,282 on January 10, 2008.....while RCom (Rs.47.30) had made a high of Rs.800 plus in 2008.

RCOM has done one of the biggest handshakes in the telecom sector, virtually merged with RJio (which has very strong Financial Muscle) and is to sell its Tower business by the end of this week.

So lot is there on the plate for patient investors.

It is pertinent to mention here that Jai Corp Ltd, incorporated in 1985, has traditionally been into manufacturing businesses like steel, plastic processing and spinning yarn. Apart from expansion of its plastic processing business, it is now focusing and investing in emerging opportunities like developing SEZs, infrastructure, venture capital and real estate.

The combined 2G, 3G and 4G networks position the merged entity for further strategic collaborations, and provide the entity the unique capability to offer a robust platform of services across all customer segments in all 22 telecom circles, including the mass market, leading to a superior customer experience at an affordable price point, and bringing the Internet to All.
