The India Cements Limited — Others, 25-12-2024: Resignation

UltraTech Cement Limited has completed the acquisition of 1,01,39,123 equity shares of The India Cements Limited, resulting in a total shareholding of 17,19,55,887 shares, equating to 55.49% equity. This change has led to UltraTech acquiring sole control and becoming the new promoter of the company, which has now been reclassified as a subsidiary. The shift in control prompted the resignation of several directors, including Mr. N. Srinivasan and Ms. Rupa Gurunath from key management positions, and the appointment of new directors including Mr. Kailash Chandra Jhanwar and Mr. Vivek Agrawal. Investor sentiment may lean toward a positive outlook given the strategic restructuring, though monitoring of operational changes post-acquisition will be essential.
