Shares of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) in intra-day trade on Tuesday (June 8, 2021) hit upper circuit limit of Rs. 22.85 per share on the NSE, surging close to 10%. This is after the NCLT or National Company Law Tribunal approved the resolution plan proposed by the Piramal Group.

As per the resolution plan, the shares of DHFL will be delisted from the exchanges. ''As part of the Resolution Plan, the equity shares of the Company are proposed to be delisted,'' said the company in an exchange filing.
