"The company will acquire 36,50,794 fully paid-up equity shares of face value of Rs 5 each aggregating to 10.76% stake in BNHL," Jubilant FoodWorks, which operates the Domino's Pizza chain and the Dunkin' Donuts coffee and doughnut chain in India, said in a regulatory filing on Thursday last week.
Canara Bank share price will also be in focus as the lender said it has raised Rs 16.3 billion through issuance of additional tier-I bonds.
"Canara Bank has raised capital by issuing additional tier-1 (AT-1) bonds to the tune of Rs 16.3 billion at 8.5% coupon on December 31, 2020," a release said.

IPO Buzz: Government Moves a Step Closer Towards Listing LIC
In latest developments from the IPO space, the government has moved a step closer towards the listing of India's largest insurer Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (Dipam) has selected Milliman Advisors LLP India for ascertaining the embedded value of LIC before its listing, which is seen as India's one of the largest initial public offerings.
The work on determining the embedded value of India's largest insurer would start soon, Dipam Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey tweeted.
This would help the government in moving ahead for the listing as the valuation of LIC would be derived. Once valuation is decided, the government will have to appoint merchant bankers for the transaction.
The LIC IPO will help government in getting a substantial chunk in divestment receipts.
The government had budgeted Rs 2.1 trillion as divestment receipts for the current financial year, out of which Rs 900 billion was expected to be mopped up from LIC listing and a stake sale in IDBI Bank.
How the above developments pan out remains to be seen. Meanwhile, we will keep you updated on all the news from this space.
