Major deals in India's cement sector since Adani Group's entry in 2022
Oct 7 (Reuters) -Dealmaking in India's cement sector is in the spotlight again, after a report said Adani Group is in talks to buy the local operations of Germany's Heidelberg Materials HEIG.DE in a deal that could be worth about $1.2 billion.
Billionaire Gautam Adani's conglomerate is locked in a fierce battle with UltraTech Cement ULTC.NS as the rivals snap up smaller firms in a bid to capitalise on expectations of heavy government spending on infrastructure.
Here is a timeline of some of the major deals announced in the sector since Adani's foray in 2022:
ADANI GROUP-HOLCIM AG, MAY 2022: Adani Group entered the Indian cement sector by buying Ambuja Cements ABUJ.NS and ACC ACC.NS from Swiss construction material giant Holcim HOLN.S for $10.5 billion.
The deal remains the country's biggest in the cement sector.
DALMIA BHARAT-JAIPRAKASH ASSOCIATES, DEC. 2022: Dalmia Bharat DALB.NS bought cement and other assets of Jaiprakash Associates JAIA.NS for $687 million to strengthen its presence in India's central region.
SAGAR CEMENTS-ANDHRA CEMENTS, FEB. 2023: A company tribunal approved Sagar Cements' SGRC.NS $9.20 billion bid to take over Jaypee Group-owned Andhra Cements ANDC.NS.
AMBUJA CEMENTS-SANGHI INDUSTRIES, AUG. 2023: Ambuja Cements bought a 83% stake in debt-laden Sanghi Industries SNGI.NS for $295 million in August 2023 - Adani Group's first major deal after U.S. short seller Hindenburg's report in January of the year.
ULTRATECH CEMENT-KESORAM INDUSTRIES, NOV. 2023: UltraTech bought cement assets of Kesoram Industries KSRM.NS in a $645 million deal to boost its hold in the country's southern region.
AMBUJA CEMENTS-PENNA CEMENT INDUSTRIES, JUNE 2024:Ambuja bought out Penna Cement Industries PENC.NS in a $1.25 billion deal. The deal likely lifted Ambuja to among the top three players in south India, analysts have estimated.
ULTRATECH CEMENT-INDIA CEMENTS, JULY 2024: UltraTech inked a deal worth $472 million to gain control of India Cements ICMN.NS, after initially buying a 23% stake for $228 million.
