Merger with Ambuja Cements

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.

Expectations from the Merger

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.

A Strategic Amalgamation for Growth

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.
