Allied Blenders and Distillers: NCLT Approves Merger of Subsidiaries
Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABDL) has received NCLT approval for the amalgamation of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Deccan Star Distilleries and Sarthak Blenders & Bottlers. The merger, effective from April 1, 2025, aims to simplify the group structure and reduce compliance costs. The NCLT Hyderabad Bench issued its final order on July 28, 2026.
The merger of wholly-owned subsidiaries is a strategic move that will improve operational efficiency and reduce compliance burden, but it does not immediately impact revenue or profitability significantly.
The NCLT approval of the amalgamation scheme is a positive development for the company, leading to a more streamlined corporate structure.
Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABDL) has received the certified copy of the final order from the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Hyderabad Bench, on August 3, 2026, approving the Scheme of Amalgamation. This scheme involves the merger by absorption of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Deccan Star Distilleries India Private Limited (“Transferor Company 1”) and Sarthak Blenders & Bottlers Private Limited (“Transferor Company 2”), with and into ABDL (“Transferee Company”).
The Hon’ble Hyderabad NCLT concluded the final hearing for the scheme on July 24, 2026, and issued its order on July 28, 2026. The merger is effective from April 1, 2025 (Appointed Date) and aims to simplify the group structure, reduce legal and regulatory compliances, and achieve cost efficiencies.
Upon the scheme becoming effective, all undertakings, assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations of the transferor companies will vest in ABDL. As the transferor companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries, no new shares will be issued, and the shares held by ABDL in these subsidiaries will be cancelled. The order also directs ABDL to comply with observations from statutory authorities, preserve records, and handle any future tax liabilities as per law. The transferor companies will be dissolved without winding up.
