○LIC booked profit in SBI, GAIL, DRL, when you were lining up at ATMs

【New Delhi】Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), which holds roughly 5 per cent stake worth $66 billion in the BSE200 companies, was seen booking profits in state-run GAILBSE -0.12 %, SBI, HPCLBSE -4.70 %, IOCBSE -1.52 % and Indraprastha GasBSE 0.68 %, among others, all through December quarter, when the government’s demonetisation drive squeezed demand and slowed down industry, halting economic growth on the tracks.
　On the flip side, the insurance behemoth was seen buying select private sector names such as Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline ConsumerBSE 0.17 % Products, Pidilite IndustriesBSE 1.86 % and Grasim IndustriesBSE 1.16 %, among others.
