With the Samajwadi Party (SP) removing Amar Singh from the party, the share price of the company promoted by him, Energy Development Company (EDC), has fallen. The Uttar Pradesh-based company produces power.
Also, a report in a national daily that Enforcement Directorate and Uttar Pradesh police have put the probe into a money laundering case against Singh into top gear has proved to be a damper for the stock.
The stock has been volatile in the past couple of weeks. The share, which was trading around Rs 81 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on January 11, fell 25 per cent after that and closed at Rs 60 on January 29.
