JSW Paints has entered into definitive agreements to acquire up to 74.76 percent stake in Akzo Nobel India (ANIL) from Akzo Nobel N.V. and its affiliates for a maximum consideration of up to Rs. 8,986 crore, subject to closing adjustments. The proposed transaction will be subject to approval from the Competition Commission of India and the successful completion of a mandatory Open Offer to ANIL’s public shareholders.
