On December 18, Sanghi Industries’ share price fell by 10.17%, trading at ₹69.08 by 11:00 AM on the NSE. The stock opened at ₹69, below its previous close of ₹76.90, and reached a fresh 52-week low of ₹67.42 during early trading. This decline marks a continuation of the stock’s downward trend over the past four sessions.
The decline followed the announcement of a Scheme of Arrangement with Ambuja Cements Limited, aimed at merging the two companies. The Scheme, approved by the board, involves the amalgamation of Sanghi Industries (Transferor Company) with Ambuja Cements (Transferee Company), pending regulatory and statutory approvals.
The merger is expected to streamline operations and lead to greater efficiencies, with Ambuja Cements set to absorb Sanghi Industries. This move is part of the broader strategy to strengthen the Adani Group’s presence in the cement industry.
Under the Scheme, shareholders of Sanghi Industries will receive 12 shares of Ambuja Cements for every 100 shares they hold in SIL, subject to the necessary approvals.
Sanghi Industries, which has a significant manufacturing base in Gujarat, is engaged in the cement business, with a large plant in Kutch.
The company reported revenue of ₹821.35 crore for the financial year 2023-24 and a net worth of ₹1,110.79 crore. Ambuja Cements, a leading player in the industry, has a much larger scale of operations, with a standalone revenue of ₹17,919.34 crore and a consolidated net worth of ₹50,845.90 crore.
