The RIL RE trading window closes on Friday — three working days before the close of the company’s mega rights issue. Units worth nearly Rs 150 crore changed hands on the NSE and another Rs 554 crore on the BSE. This is the first time trading in rights entitlement is taking place after market regulator Sebi introduced the concept in January.
