Attn CIAL’s early backers! This is the final call to reclaim shares

CIAL

KOCHI: They put their money into an infrastructure project that did not yet exist. More than three decades later, some of those early backers of Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) are in danger of losing the shares they bought when the ambitious development was still taking shape.

CIAL has made a last-ditch attempt to trace around 150 minor shareholders, who have also not claimed dividends for years. Together, they hold 1,07,890 shares, valued at nearly `5 crore at the prevailing private-market price of around `450 each.
