KDS Corporation owns 85% in the Royal Building and Infrastructure Ltd.

Meanwhile, a mail sent to the Alchemist Group – the holding of company Singh’s enterprise on the nature of his shareholding in Tehelka did not elicit any response from the group. The group chose to remain silent on the exact current shareholding of Singh in Tehelka, and his plans to withdraw his stake, among others sought in the mail.

Tarun Tejpal – the beleaguered editor of the magazine holds 19.25% stake in the Anant Media Corporation. The other stakeholders as per the corporate affairs ministry records include Ram Jethmalani (0.08%) and Kapil Sibal (0.04%).
