BSE on Thursday sought clarification from RCom with reference to news that RCom, Ericsson have informed NCLT that they are in settlement talks. The company replied saying it "cannot comment on changes in volume and price in the stock markets."

"Appropriate disclosures will be made in accordance with applicable regulations, as and when any disclosable event occurs," it added. 

Shares of RCom on Wednesday plunged nearly 16 per cent to slip below Rs 10 at some point after NCLT admitted an insolvency petition filed by Ericsson against the company and two of its subsidiaries. 

Like other telecom players, RCom has been hit by a fierce tariff war over the last year, especially after the entry of Reliance Jio, which offered free voice and cut-price data plans.
