The company categorically states that all its operations and business are in order and that there are no new developments which have taken place that have any material impact on the company's operations and business.
Rolta has been communicating all material developments to the financial community through its releases and information sent to exchanges -- the last such event was the acquisition of Piocon Technologies in the last week of December 2008.
Rolta India Ltd. requests its investor and the public at large to ignore such rumours.
