As part of the arrangement, Adani Enterprises will divest a 50 per cent stake in its wholly owned subsidiary, Kutch Copper Tubes, to Mettube. Simultaneously, Adani will acquire a 50 per cent stake in Mettube Copper India, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mettube, which operates a copper tube manufacturing plant near Ahmedabad. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Mettube Copper India, part of the London-headquartered Metdist Group, is a global leader in precision copper tube manufacturing with more than five decades of experience. Mettube runs advanced production facilities in Malaysia and India, supplying inner-grooved and smooth copper tubes to leading HVAC and refrigeration brands worldwide.

The Metdist Group has also made investments in copper rod and wire production in both Malaysia and India, and holds interests in India’s financial services, apparel, and hospitality sectors.
