Income Tax is in focus.

· Business Standard Mkts

MTNL board approved the sale of property in Powai, Mumbai, worth ₹891.53 crore to the IT department.

Income Tax reported ₹891.53 cr and ₹891.53 crore, with movement of 17% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

  • With Income Tax involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
