Maytas Infra on Friday opened at Rs 151.10, down 5 per cent from its previous close on the BSE. Similarly on the National Stock Exchange, the scrip dipped nearly 5 per cent and touched an intra-day low of Rs 150.80.

On Thursday, the company said its chairman and non-executive director R C Sinha has tendered his resignation.

On volume terms, as many as 544 shares exchanged hands on BSE and 1,294 shares got traded on NSE.

Maytas Infra has also understated its profit in the April-June quarter and the discrepancies were "duly accounted for" in the company's books later.

The company's statutory auditors has qualified that Maytas Infra made under-provision for service tax liability and excess provision for deferred tax liability, resulting in a net understatement of profit after tax by Rs 1.60 million, company VC B Teja Raju, son of Satyam's founder B Ramalinga Raju, has said.
