That stipulation is there for quite some time, she said adding, "there are no specific steps we are contemplating right now." ICICI Group currently holds 26.6 per cent in Firstsource which provides business process management services across banking and financial services, telecommunications and the healthcare industry. However, there is a time-line which was imposed by the regulators in the US and there is a gradual phased out reduction, she added. According to the reports ICICI Bank along with other investors have appointed Citigroup as merchant banker. Firstsource shares today closed at Rs 36.50, up 2.96 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
