Among individual companies, Gurkhas Finance Limited held the largest transaction of its shares worth Rs 471.57 million. Gurans Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited lost the highest of 504 points (21.54 percent), while Menchhiyam Hydropower Limited by adding 10.54 percent on its market value was recorded among the highest gainers.
