India Cements has been operating as a subsidiary of UltraTech Cement following the latter’s phased acquisition of the company. UltraTech initially acquired a 22.77% stake in mid-2024 before purchasing an additional 32.72% stake from the promoters in December 2024 for around ₹3,954 crore, taking its holding to 55.49% and making India Cements its subsidiary.
The acquisition was followed by a mandatory open offer, completed on February 4, 2025, through which UltraTech acquired another 26% stake from public shareholders, increasing its ownership to 81.49%.
Since then, India Cements has been functioning as a subsidiary of UltraTech, the largest cement producer of the country, with the two companies continuing to integrate their operations and financials through 2025 and 2026.
Shares of India Cements ended 3.31% higher at ₹411 on the NSE on July 18.
