Based on the past performance of the transacted business, the Enterprise Value to EBITDA works out to be around 13 times. Siam Industrial wires, the wires business of NatSteel in Thailand, has been held by Tata Steel as part of the downstream wires portfolio.

The transaction has been closed on Thursday, the consideration obtained will be utilised for off-shore debt reduction, it said.

Tata Steel had procured the Singapore company in 2004 for Rs 1,313 crore.
