Religare Enterprises Faces Intensifying Bid Battle

Religare Enterprises Faces Intensifying Bid Battle

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Religare Enterprises, a prominent player in India's financial services sector, finds itself amidst a fierce acquisition battle with a new proposal from a U.S. businessman seeking a 26% stake in the company. For further details, see the original source. The latest offer adds a new chapter to the ongoing struggle for control, which has already seen a bid by the Burman family, founders of the Dabur India conglomerate, whose offer was tagged as undervalued. This development coincides with data from IndexBox indicating a robust growth trajectory in India's financial services sector, highlighting the stakes involved in acquiring firms like Religare.

The Burman family, who recently upped their share in Religare to nearly 25% in September 2023, initiated an open offer process starting January 27 to acquire an additional 26%. However, the offer price of 235 rupees per share was flagged by Religare's independent directors as being insufficient. In a strategic counter-move, Digvijay "Danny" Gaekwad, a U.S.-based entrepreneur, proposed a more competitive offer of 275 rupees per share, promising a 17% premium over the Burman's bid.

As Religare's shares recently closed at 249.40 rupees—equating to a market valuation of 81.83 billion rupees (approximately $949.30 million)—the proposed bids spotlight the intense competition in India's financial services market, where families like Ambani's Jio Financial Services and Bajaj Finance already hold significant sway. However, the Burman family's continued attempts to take control have encountered both regulatory hurdles and legal obstacles, with a minority shareholder urging the Delhi High Court to intervene. The legal proceedings could potentially impact the progress of any open offer, making the outcome uncertain and positioning Religare as a key battleground in India's financial services landscape.
