GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd surges 19.1 percent after GlaxoSmithKline Plc said on Monday it plans to spend over $1 billion to buy up to 20.6 million shares to raise its stake in its Indian unit.
However, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold Indian shares worth 4.32 billion rupees on Friday, to snap their 10-day buying streak, exchange and regulatory data shows.
