BSE to delist 222 firms from today

New Delhi, July 3 

Leading stock exchange BSE will delist as many as 222 companies from Wednesday as trading in their shares has remained suspended for over six months.

In August last year, market regulator SEBI had directed exchanges to act against 331 suspected shell companies, while the government has already deregistered more than 2 lakh firms that have not been carrying out business activities for long. — PTI
