BENGALURU (Reuters) – Shares of Indian broadcaster Zee Entertainment Enterprises plunged 10% in pre-open trade on Tuesday, a day after Japan’s Sony Group scrapped a $10 billion merger with the company, raising concerns about its survival in an increasingly competitive industry.

At least five brokerages said investors should sell Zee’s stock.
