This news comes amid a wave of consolidation in the cement sector that has seen Aditya Birla, parent of UltraTech Cement, and Adani groups aggressively acquire assets across the country. Negotiations with Adani and Ultratech have been delayed due to valuation issues and environmental clearance of key limestone mines. This delay has provided an opportunity for JSW Cement to enter the fray. JSW Cement's interest in OCL, which has an 8.5 million tons per annum (MTPA) capacity, introduces a third contender in the race, following Aditya Birla and Adani groups. Both have been in discussions with CK Birla since late last year when JP Morgan initiated the sale process. This follows a similar high-stakes competition in 2022 for Holcim’s India assets, which Adani eventually acquired for $6.5 billion, making it the second-largest player in India’s building-materials industry. The promoter stake in OCL, held by the Birla family and private investment vehicles, is 37.9%. An acquisition will trigger an open offer for an additional 26% stake from minority shareholders.

Kumar Mangalam Birla's UltraTech is in advanced negotiations with the promoter of Orient Cement, his uncle CK Birla, after restarting talks in recent weeks, said people familiar with the discussions to ET. UltraTech is said to have offered a price of INR 350 - INR 375 per share, a 22% premium to the current market price of INR 307. In the past month, the Orient Cement stock has shot up 45%, hitting an all-time high of INR 329 on July 1, largely on speculation that an acquisition deal was near conclusion. Kumar Birla's renewed efforts to buy Orient are seen as an attempt to trump Adani Cement Industries Limited and consolidate UltraTech’s position in the southern and western markets, especially Maharashtra and Telangana, after buying a 23% stake in India Cements at the end of last month. Adani Cement, which controls India's second-largest cement capacity, has been engaged in talks with CK Birla since late last year but is said to have baulked at the valuation sought. The promoter stake in Orient Cement held by the Birla family and private investment vehicles is 37.9%. The company has a market value of INR 64,175.1 million, having almost doubled from INR 38,780 million in October when ET had first reported on CK Birla’s approach to Adani. Adani’s offer was also contingent on obtaining environmental clearance for the expansion phase in Telangana, which the current Orient management was unable to commit to definitively, according to sources’ citation to ET. A formal announcement is expected before or during Orient Cement's upcoming quarterly earnings scheduled for July 19. However, the final valuation is still being worked upon and the deal may not happen if there’s a mismatch, said the people cited to ET.Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 28Investor sentiment improves as stock rises 18%After last week's 18% share price gain to ₹275, the stock trades at a forward P/E ratio of 24x.

The company will acquire 77,649,413 shares of Orient Cement at INR 395.4 per share, representing a 37.9% stake in the company, from the promoters and related entity, according to its exchange filing. It has also signed another share purchase agreement to acquire another 18,223,750 shares of the company, representing 8.90% of the existing share capital, from certain public shareholders of the company. As per the company's exchange filing, the transaction has triggered an open offer from Ambuja Cements to acquire another 26% stake in Orient Cement, from public shareholders. For that transaction, Ambuja Cements will roll out an open offer to acquire up to 53,419,567 equity shares, constituting 26% of the Expanded Share Capital (as defined in the PA), at a price of INR 395.4 per equity share from the public shareholders of Orient Cement. According to its exchange filings, the transaction will happen at an equity value of INR 81.00 billion, or INR 395.4 per share. Under the proposed deal, Ambuja Cement will acquire operational cement capacity of 8.5 MTPA (million tonne per annum), and 8.1 MTPA of cement capacity in ready to execute projects, along with a limestone mine in Rajasthan which can support an additional 6 MTPA cement capacity in North India. This will take Adani Cement's total operational capacity to 97.4 MTPA. The acquisition will also increase the Adani group company's pan India market share by 2%, along with an improvement in return on capital employed (ROCE). The company has set a target of more than 15% ROCE on the investment. Moreover, the acquisition is expected to further strengthen Ambuja Cements's balance sheet as Orient Cement is almost debt free. “This timed acquisition marks another significant step forward in Ambuja Cements' accelerated growth journey, increasing cement capacity by 30 MTPA within two years of Ambuja's acquisition,” said Karan Adani, director, Ambuja Cements. Adani added: "By acquiring Orient Cement, Ambuja is poised to reach 100 MTPA cement capacity in FY25. Orient Cement's assets are highly efficient, equipped with railway sidings, and well supported by captive power plants, renewable energy, WHRS, and AFR facilities".

공지 • Jul 31JSW Cement Reportedly Enters Race to Acquire Promoter Stake in Orient CementJSW Cement Limited is evaluating the acquisition of the promoter stake in Orient Cement Limited (NSEI:ORIENTCEM) from CK Birla Group, according to a report by The Economic Times. This news comes amid a wave of consolidation in the cement sector that has seen Aditya Birla, parent of UltraTech Cement, and Adani groups aggressively acquire assets across the country. Negotiations with Adani and Ultratech have been delayed due to valuation issues and environmental clearance of key limestone mines. This delay has provided an opportunity for JSW Cement to enter the fray. JSW Cement's interest in OCL, which has an 8.5 million tons per annum (MTPA) capacity, introduces a third contender in the race, following Aditya Birla and Adani groups. Both have been in discussions with CK Birla since late last year when JP Morgan initiated the sale process. This follows a similar high-stakes competition in 2022 for Holcim’s India assets, which Adani eventually acquired for $6.5 billion, making it the second-largest player in India’s building-materials industry. The promoter stake in OCL, held by the Birla family and private investment vehicles, is 37.9%. An acquisition will trigger an open offer for an additional 26% stake from minority shareholders. OCL’s shares have surged 56% in anticipation of a sale, with the total transaction for the 63.9% stake estimated to be as much as INR 45,465.40 million, given the current market value of INR 71,150.9 million.

공지 • Jul 05Orient Cement Shares Surges 5.5% Amid UltraTech's Plans of AcquisitionShares of Orient Cement Limited (NSEI:ORIENTCEM) surged 5.5% to the day’s high of INR 323.85 on BSE as UltraTech Cement Limited (NSEI:ULTRACEMCO) is in advanced negotiations for the acquisition of the company amid intensifying consolidation efforts in the sector. Kumar Mangalam Birla's UltraTech is in advanced negotiations with the promoter of Orient Cement, his uncle CK Birla, after restarting talks in recent weeks, said people familiar with the discussions to ET. UltraTech is said to have offered a price of INR 350 - INR 375 per share, a 22% premium to the current market price of INR 307. In the past month, the Orient Cement stock has shot up 45%, hitting an all-time high of INR 329 on July 1, largely on speculation that an acquisition deal was near conclusion. Kumar Birla's renewed efforts to buy Orient are seen as an attempt to trump Adani Cement Industries Limited and consolidate UltraTech’s position in the southern and western markets, especially Maharashtra and Telangana, after buying a 23% stake in India Cements at the end of last month. Adani Cement, which controls India's second-largest cement capacity, has been engaged in talks with CK Birla since late last year but is said to have baulked at the valuation sought. The promoter stake in Orient Cement held by the Birla family and private investment vehicles is 37.9%. The company has a market value of INR 64,175.1 million, having almost doubled from INR 38,780 million in October when ET had first reported on CK Birla’s approach to Adani. Adani’s offer was also contingent on obtaining environmental clearance for the expansion phase in Telangana, which the current Orient management was unable to commit to definitively, according to sources’ citation to ET. A formal announcement is expected before or during Orient Cement's upcoming quarterly earnings scheduled for July 19. However, the final valuation is still being worked upon and the deal may not happen if there’s a mismatch, said the people cited to ET.
