The Modi Rubber Story
Since the early days of MRL, B K Modi and V K Modi were reported to have 'rarely seen eye to eye.' Even after they signed a shareholder's agreement, their relationship never really improved.

Meanwhile, MRL's sales declined to Rs 1.96 billion in the first quarter of 1998 from Rs 2.16 billion in the same period in the previous year. This was largely due to the shutting down of one of the company's units. In November, 1999, the Modis appointed Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) to provide a blueprint for increasing their stake in the company to 51%... |
