Kolkata-based industrialist Saroj Poddar-led Zuari group has decided to buy more shares of Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers (MCF) through the proposed open offer.

The size of the voluntary open offer has now been increased to 4.33 crore shares, as against the earlier proposal of 3.07 crore of MCF shares. This constitutes 36.56 per cent of the company’s fully diluted voting equity share capital. Earlier, the company had targeted 25.9 per cent stake in MCF through the open offer.
