Transaction Details

Through a proposed subsidiary, Hind Rectifiers has acquired the business and operating assets of BeLink Solutions for EUR 1 million (around Rs 90 million). The entire consideration will be paid in cash, funded through internal accruals.

Of this, Hind Rectifiers will contribute EUR 1 million as preference shares on its own, while the remaining EUR 1 million will be issued as equity shares. Hind Rectifiers will take a 66 per cent stake, with promoter group companies holding the remaining 34 per cent.
