Prior to the acquisition, the capital reduction was done at a ratio of 100:1. Patanjali invested Rs 4350 cr to acquire the company. The stock price at that time was Rs 148.70. The share price has appreciated by over 8.5 times! Ruchi Soya is currently trading around Rs 1237. The market capitalisation for the company stands at Rs 36621 crore.

Grover, however said that the financials of the company do not back the numbers. The income growth in FY20 is only 3 per cent though the profits have grown by 100 times. There was a one-time gain in the profits, he further said adding that if this onetime gains is removed the profits will get reduced to 2.7 times.

Though the management has got good returns, even it is surprised to see this appreciation in the stock price. All this has happened at a low volume as there is a 5 per cent circuit. There are indications that there is a reversal in this stock.

Even the management is a bit worried about these developments, he added.

Earlier, Zee Business has asked Swami Ramdev about this development, to which the latter said that the situation would require some control. He said that he would like to see some downward correction in the stock prices.
