To check excessive volatility, stock exchange BSE today revised the circuit limit for share movement of Muthoot Capital Services and 24 others.

A limit of 10 per cent has also been set for Rana Sugars, Kakatiya Cement Sugar & Industries, Gokaldas Exports, Sita Shree Food Products, Gyscoal Alloys, Steel Exchange India and Sathavahana Ispat.
