Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of the Rs1.4 trillion aluminium-to-mobile telephony conglomerate Aditya Birla Group, will raise his stake in Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd by December. The holding will be increased by converting preferential warrants issued in June 2009 into equity shares. The company’s balance sheet will further improve with the remaining equity infusion by promoters for Rs425 crore and the promoter’s stake will rise to 51% from the current 46%.
The promoters have an 18-month window till December for conversion. The Birlas paid Rs575 crore and increased the stake to 46% from 41.5% by converting part of the warrants into equity shares between June and September. Most of the money will go into fuelling the growth of ABFS, a business which the group plans to strengthen and convert into a bank as and when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) gives licences.
ABFS has assets of around Rs90,000 crore under management, including mutual funds, life insurance, private equity, and general insurance spread over 1,600 branches. It has 16,500 employees.crackcrack| Company Name | CMP |
