India’s largest cement maker UltraTech Cement on Sunday said it would acquire a 32.72 per cent stake in India Cements from its promoters and their associates. The deal, valued at Rs 3,954 crore, will trigger an open offer, which, if fully subscribed, will raise the total cost for UltraTech to Rs 7,100 crore.
After signing the share-purchase agreements and obtaining regulatory approvals, UltraTech will pay Rs 3,954 crore at Rs 390 per share for the stake in India Cements, the Aditya Birla Group-owned company said in a statement on Sunday.
