Consumer electronics major Philips Electronics India has decided to float a buyback offer at Rs 242 a share to enable minority shareholders exit. The company is understood to have set aside Rs 146 crore for the buyback offer for a maximum of 6.02 million equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 each.
