The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 25 Feb 2021Many investors have lost a lot of money on account of the ‘technical glitch’ that disrupted trading for around four hours on National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Wednesday.

It had an EBIDTA of Rs 2,053 crore and profit after tax of Rs 1,426 crore, in 2019-20.
