Zee Entertainment: Zee Entertainment's board on Friday said it'll not convene the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) called by Invesco Developing Markets Fund on the lines "requisitioned by" it and termed it invalid. The company said the decision has been taken in the best interest of the company, shareholders and stakeholders.
"...in the best interests of the Company as a whole, including all its shareholders and stakeholders, we express our inability to convene the EGM on the lines requisitioned by you," Zee said in a stock exchange filing.
Telecom stocks: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has kept in abeyance its order that had expanded the list of telecom products a government entity must procure only from local manufacturers.
The DoT in an August 31 order included SD-WAN routers and switches, which are used to connect remote branches and data centres, and two dozen other telecom gears in the Public Procurement (Preference of Make in India), Order 2017 and allowed usage of imported components in them.
Adani Green Energy: The company's subsidiary Adani Renewable Energy (MH) Energy has completed acquisition of 100% of the share capital and all the securities of Vento Energy Infra from Essel Green Energy.

The exchange will take the required internal approvals and apply to markets regulator Sebi for the launch of the new class of security on its platform, he added.
