UltraTech, a key player in the Aditya Birla Group, has announced plans to acquire an 8.69% stake in Star Cement for approximately ₹851 crore. The announcement sparked an 8% rally in Star Cement’s stock, which climbed to ₹247.75 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on Friday.

“The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held today considered the proposal and approved making an investment to acquire non-controlling minority stake upto 3.70 crore equity shares of Star Cement at a price not exceeding ₹235 per share, excluding STT; stamp duty and other levies,” UltraTech stated in its regulatory filing.

What the Deal Means for UltraTech

UltraTech’s decision to purchase shares in Star Cement aligns with its broader strategy to consolidate its position in the competitive cement industry. This move reflects a calculated step to enhance its footprint in India’s Northeast region, where Star Cement holds a commanding market position.

The acquisition is structured as an all-cash deal and is expected to be finalized within a month, subject to regulatory approvals. UltraTech’s investment reflects the company’s confidence in Star Cement’s operational and market strengths.

Star Cement’s Promoters Open to Stake Sales

Star Cement, headquartered in Meghalaya, has been a dominant force in the Northeast market. Reports suggest that the company’s promoters and promoter group businesses had approached UltraTech, expressing interest in selling portions of their ownership stakes. This strategic partnership is likely to bolster both companies, enhancing market efficiency and competitiveness.

Interestingly, earlier reports suggested that Ambuja Cement, part of the Adani Group, was also exploring a potential acquisition of Star Cement. However, Star Cement dismissed these rumors as speculative, stating unequivocally that no such discussions were underway.

Impact on the Market

The market reacted swiftly to the news of UltraTech’s acquisition plans:

  • Star Cement’s shares surged 8%, closing at ₹247.75 on the BSE.
  • UltraTech’s decisive move underlines its commitment to expanding in key growth areas like the Northeast.

In a fiercely competitive cement industry, UltraTech’s investment underscores a calculated bid to strengthen its market position and ensure sustained growth.
