The Amravati bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has authorised a bid of Sagar Cements to acquire Andhra Cements for Rs 9.22 billion; the Jaypee Group cement maker now facing insolvency procedures would continue to be listed on the bourses.

On February 16, the Sagar Cements board of directors authorised a plan to roughly quadruple Andhra Cements' capacity to 3 million tonne per year, at a cost of Rs 4.68 billion.

Sagar Cements intends to raise Rs 6.22 billion in loan and Rs 3.22 billion in equity of the proposed acquisition cost of Rs 9.22 billion.
