"The board considered the proposed buyback of equity shares of the company at its meeting. Following detailed discussions, the meeting has been adjourned to a future date," the city-based company said in a BSE filing.
"No decision has been taken in relation to the proposed buyback of equity shares," the firm said.
The details of when the next board meeting will be held were not disclosed.
