The board of ICL, which met on Tuesday, decided to sell its investments in several subsidiaries and other outfits. Just consider these:

* The board has decided to sell its entire equity investment in Coromandel Travels Limited (CTL), a subsidiary of the company. Upon completion of the said sale, CTL would cease to be a subsidiary.  “The company shall enter into an agreement with Chennai-based Venbro Investments and Financial Services Private Limited, the proposed buyer, upon finalisation of terms,” the company said in a stock exchange filing.  It is proposed to sell CTL at a consideration of Rs.3.98 lakhs.
