Meghmani Organics Ltd- Forensic Analysis
- Meghmani Organics (MEGH IN) group was reconstructed lately; the NCLT approved the demerger post F21, as Meghmani Finechem was listed as new entity, while MOL got demerged with its subsidiary.
- MOL continues with the flagship Agrochemicals and Pigments business while MFL takes care of ChlorAlkali products and derivatives.
- However, even post the restructuring of the group, MOL continues to have several setbacks in its balance sheet, as highlighted in the insight.
HDFC Bank/HDFC Ltd Merger: Will Catalyze Growth, Not Dampen It
- A first look at the merger suggests that the value proposition is tilted towards HDFC Ltd (“HDFC”) vs HDFC Bank (“HDFCB”), given the declining regulatory arbitrage between large-NBFCs and banks
- However, given HDFCB’s intense focus on growing its distribution prowess, HDFCB stands to benefit immensely from the merger and is thus a win-win deal.
- With the expanded distribution network and cross-sell synergies, HDFCB, despite the larger base, will benefit from an accelerated growth post-merger.
Solar Industries: Strategic Investment in UAS Start-Up
- Solar Industries (SOIL) surprised with an investment (undisclosed amount) in an unarmed aerial solutions (UAS) company ZMotion Autonomous (ZM) incorporated in CY18.
- This is the second announced start-up investment by SOIL after a strategic stake (Rs175mn) into Skyroot – a space start-up helping ISRO with propulsion systems (SOIL incidentally also received ToT on 7th Apr’22 (propellant casting for Dual Pulse propulsion system).
- The rationale for the strategic investment has been shown as “will strengthen SOIL’s initiative to introduce weaponised unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) for offensive and counter drone system for defensive roles”.
