Stocks in Focus on January 21: Piramal Enterprises, Telecom Stocks to Info Edge; here are expected 5 Newsmakers of the Day

Domestic Indian markets fell sharply on Monday, January 20, 2020. The key indices, Sensex and Nifty 50 ended almost 1 per cent down after hitting record highs during the session owing to the selloff in index heavyweights like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and TCS following December quarter results. But certain stocks made news after the market was closed and can make an impact on the indices when it reopens on Tuesday, January 21, 2020. Here is a list of five such stocks:

Piramal Enterprises: Ajay Piramal-led Piramal Enterprises rights issue closes today, January 21, 2020. The company has plans to raise Rs3,650 crore from the rights issue that is being offered at Rs1,300 apiece, an attractive discount of 20 per cent to the current market price.
