Trade analyst Taran Adarsh's tweet read, #Shamshera struggles on Day 2... Substantial growth on Sat was a must, esp after an unenthusiastic start... Mass pockets remain below par, which is a worrying sign... Sun biz is the last hope to recover lost ground... Fri 10.25 cr, Sat 10.50 cr. Total: ₹ 20.75 cr. #India biz."
