A sharp correction in small-cap stocks over the past few months has pushed 430 actively traded stocks on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) below their respective face value, as compared to 336 scrips at the beginning of calendar year 2018 (CY18).

Thus far in CY18, both the S&P BSE Small-cap and the S&P BSE Midcap indices have underperformed by falling 15 per cent and 12 per cent respectively, as compared to four per cent rise in the S&P BSE Sensex.

Gitanjali Gems, Diamond Power Infrastructure, KSK Energy Ventures, IVRCL and Jaypee Infratech from the S&P BSE Smallcap and S&P BSE 500 index companies, have seen market price erosion of more than 75 per cent thus far in CY18.
