Are You Eligible for Mahindra Lifespaces Rights Issue; How to Apply?

Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited has announced a rights issue, allowing existing shareholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares at a discounted price. Here’s a detailed look at who qualifies, how the process works, and what investors need to know.
