The bank will increase its holding by one point zero nine per cent in GCICL and by zero point eight two per cent in GCLICL.

In a separate approval the regulator cleared the acquisition of a stake in Balaji Wafers Private Limited by General Atlantic Singapore BWP Pte. Ltd. (GASBWP) from existing shareholders.

The commission also approved a proposed transaction involving Bagmane Prime Office REIT, which contemplates the direct acquisition of Bagmane Developers Private Limited (BDPL) and its wholly owned subsidiary Bagmane Green Power LLP (BGPL). The deal further provides for the indirect acquisition of Bagmane Rio Private Limited (BRPL) and the property Luxor at Bagmane Capital Tech Park from Bagmane Constructions Private Limited. Under the arrangement the sponsor group of the REIT and certain third party shareholders of the targets will receive units of the REIT in exchange for transferring their shareholding.

The target entities are engaged in development and leasing of commercial real estate, hospitality operations and renewable power generation and their integration into Bagmane Prime Office REIT is intended to consolidate those activities under the REIT structure.
