Shares of KSH International may remain in focus after the expiry of a six-month pre-IPO lock-in period, making around 10 lakh shares eligible for trading in the open market. The unlocked shares are valued at roughly $8 million (or Rs 75.62 crore) and account for about 1% of the company's total outstanding equity.
