AV Birla NUVO « Indian Stock Market Blog

AV Birla NUVO « Indian Stock Market Blog: "Aditya Birla Nuvo (CMP Rs 880) is a classic theme stock. The company holds interests across varios businessess like Insurance (Birlas Global Finance), Telecom (Idea), Branded clothing (Indian Rayon) and Fertlizers (Indo Gulf Fertizers). The company recently amalgamated two of its subsidaries i.e Indo Gulf fertlizers and Birla Global Finance.

Insurance: Birla Global Finance
