Mr. Basant, I just bought something from a shop that belongs to a rival of Vivek's in retail electronics business.  The person who delivered it told me that they have a publication for the benefit of the electronic business community - and this was written in the latest issue.  He thinks Vivek's is going out of business and he is excited about it.  When I probed him, he said the Tatas are buying them out.  This was as of yesterday.  I can try and ask him to get me this publication when he comes again on Wednesday.  It is a fact Viveks were on the look out for partners in their business - they even thought of going solo and public.  But I guess it did not work out that way.  This was ofcourse written about in a business magazine about two years ago.  Now with the retail boom, I am not surprised at the Tata's move.  Viveks has a strong presence in many of the bigger towns in TN besides more than half a dozen showrooms in Chennai and may be even a few in neighbouring States.  MTR, by the way, is also on the look out for strategic partners.  I wouldn't be surprised if ITC buys them out and clubs their Kitchens of India brand and wipe out a serious competition.

Trent announced a Rights issue in the ratio of 1 share for 5 held at a premium of Rs 490 per share. This will be preceeded by a preferential issue of shares and warrants to the promoters.

Can anyone provide me the nse and bse code for Trent warrants?

Basantji,
