CES Ltd: :Listed But Private

One of the joys of being an investor in the Indian markets is that the sheer variety of companies listed offer unique lessons.

One such lesson is offered by CES Ltd., company listed on BSE (Security Code:512341)

The Business of this Hyderabad based company is mundane-it offers IT and IT Services

What is interesting is the shareholding pattern.

The promoters own 74.81 % of the Company.

The other top 5 shareholders own 24.02 % of the company

That leaves only 1.17% with the general public.

This company shows that you can be listed and private at the same time .
