Dubai: Private health-care service provider Aster DM Healthcare witnessed its listing get off to a tepid start on Indian bourses on Monday as the share price fell as much as 7.2 per cent in intra-day trade.

Aster shares fell to a low of Rs176.30 (Dh9.99) before regaining some lost ground to close at Rs181.55, 4.45 per cent lower than its listing price of Rs190.
