According to the news reports, Adani Group has taken a leading position in the race to acquire a significant stake in Diamond Power Infrastructure Ltd (DPIL), outpacing 2 other interested parties. This development comes as the company looks to strengthen its hold over the power infrastructure supply chain amid its broader expansion plans.
Adani Group has positioned itself at the forefront of acquiring a stake in Ahmedabad-based Diamond Power Infrastructure Ltd (DPIL), as per Economic Times reports. The conglomerate's interest in DPIL is driven by its objective to gain enhanced control over its vendor ecosystem, especially as it plans significant capital expenditures in the upcoming years.
DPIL is a vertically integrated power infrastructure company engaged in manufacturing cables, conductors, transmission towers, and providing power transmission and distribution solutions. The company also undertakes the manufacturing and installation of transmission line towers and components on a turnkey basis.
The promoters of DPIL currently hold a 90% stake in the company, which needs to be reduced to 75% to comply with the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) regulations. "Including the Adani Group, DPIL is in discussion with 3 suitors for a stake sale as promoters need to bring down their holding to 75% from the present 90%, as per SEBI norms," .
DPIL, with a market capitalisation of approximately ₹5,000 crore, was acquired by a consortium of GSEC Ltd and Rakesh Shah through a National Company Law Tribunal process in 2022. The identities of the other 2 contenders competing with Adani for the DPIL stake have not been disclosed.
