Punj Lloyd to sell stake in Pipavav Shipyard

29 Mar 2010 Evaluate

Engineering and construction firm Punj Lloyd will sell its stake of just over 19 per cent in Pipavav Shipyard to co-founder SKIL Infrastructure to raise cash by selling assets. The deal is likely to be struck at Rs 700 crore ($154.9 million), at a discount to the prevailing market price as Punj Lloyd is selling before the end of a three-year lock-in period.

 

Pipavav Shipyard listed last year, with an initial public offer of shares. Founder shares are locked in for a period of three years from the completion of an IPO, under Indian regulations. SKIL, which holds about 20 per cent in Pipavav, will have to make an open offer to minority shareholders for a further 20 per cent stake.

 

Pipavav Shipyard Chairman Nikhil Gandhi and founder of SKIL Infra declined comment on the transaction. Punj Lloyd chairman Atul Punj, who is currently in the United States, did not comment either on the development.
