Event Summary

Dalmia Bharat, through its subsidiary Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd, has acquired cement assets from the debt-ridden Jaypee Group for Rs 2,850 crore. This strategic acquisition, which includes cement plants in India — Madhya Pradesh and India — Uttar Pradesh with a combined capacity of 5.2 MnTPA, will boost Dalmia Bharat's total cement capacity to 54.7 MnTPA. The deal is part of the Adani Group-led insolvency resolution plan for Jaypee Group, which was approved by the India — National Company Law Tribunal after a petition by ICICI Bank. The acquisition also includes 99 MW of thermal power capacity and railway sidings, aiming to enhance Dalmia Bharat's market presence in central India, reduce regional volatility, and improve EBITDA delivery. This transaction also settles long-standing disputes between Dalmia Bharat and Jaypee Group. Separately, Adani Group entities, Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone and Adani Power, have acquired other assets from Jaypee Group, including Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited for logistics expansion and power assets to expand their generation portfolio.
