Vishvapradhan Commercial along with AMG Media Networks and Adani Enterprises launched the open offer to acquire an additional 26 per cent stake in NDTV.

Adani's open offer had received nearly 53.28 lakh subscriptions of NDTV shares --- 31.79 per cent of the total offered size of over 1.67 crore equity shares.

Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) have tendered 6.86 lakh shares, according to the NSE data which did not identify either the corporates or QIBs who have offered to sell their shares.
