Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence Systems along with Reliance Infrastructure is all set to make a big bang entry into the defence business by acquiring up to 25% stake in Pipavav Defence – one of India’s private sector shipyards based in Gujarat. The Anil Ambani company will make an open offer costing around Rs 1,266 crore as the transaction will breach the 25% trigger for an open offer. Reliance Infrastructure will first invest Rs 819 crore to pick up 17.66% stake in the company at a price of Rs 63 from the promoters and then launch an open offer at the price of Rs 66 a share.
The Anil Ambani group has pipped a number of suitors including the Munjals of the Hero group and M&M to buy the company. The Ambani company will spend an additional Rs 345 crore to buy an additional 7.44% stake in the company, if there is no response in the open offer. Post transaction, the Gandhi family will own 24.6% stake in the company. The promoters own 44.5% stake in the company. Pipavav Defence stock closed at Rs 76.50 on Wednesday. With the acquisition, Reliance Infrastructure joins a growing list of Indian companies which are getting into the defence sector with the Modi Government planning to give more orders to the Indian companies under the Make-in-India policy. The Modi government has also allowed 49% foreign direct investment in defence companies.
