Adani Group's Dubai firm to acquire ITD Cementation for Rs 32.04 bn

28 Oct 2024 CW Team

The Adani Group's firm plans to make an open offer for ITD Cementation.

This transaction, valued at Rs 400 per share, will result in the current promoter, Italian-Thai Development Public Company, no longer being a promoter of the company. Renew Exim DMCC will assume the role of the new promoter, pending all necessary government approvals.

Renew Exim DMCC, owned by billionaire Vinod Adani, who is the elder brother of Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani, intends to make an open offer to acquire an additional 26 per cent stake at Rs 571.68 per share. This is in contrast to ITD Cementation's closing price of Rs 532 per share as of the previous Friday. The open offer is projected to cost Rs 25.53 billion, assuming all shareholders choose to tender their shares.

On October 22, Ambuja Cements, a firm owned by the Adani family, announced its third acquisition in the past year. It entered into a binding agreement to acquire a 46.8 percent stake in C K Birla family-owned Orient Cement for an equity value of ?8,100 crore. Earlier, Ambuja had acquired a majority stake in Sanghi Cement in December and purchased Penna Cement in August of this year. The group made a significant entry into the cement industry by acquiring Ambuja Cement and its subsidiary ACC for $6.5 billion in 2022.

ITD Cementation India, a prominent engineering and construction company, has been operating in India for nine decades. It specializes in heavy civil works, infrastructure, and EPC projects, with expertise in areas such as maritime structures, mass rapid transit systems, airports, hydro-electric power, tunnels, dams and irrigation, highways, bridges and flyovers, as well as industrial structures and buildings. For the financial year 2024, the company reported revenues of Rs 75.42 billion and a profit of Rs 2.74 billion.

Ultratech currently has a capacity of 150 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and plans to increase its capacity to 200 mtpa by 2027. Similarly, Ambuja aims to raise its capacity to 150 mtpa during the same timeframe.
