Dabur India gets NCLT nod to convene shareholder meeting for Sesa Care amalgamation
Dabur India received NCLT approval to convene meetings for its shareholders and unsecured creditors regarding the amalgamation with Sesa Care Private Limited. The scheme aims to enhance Dabur's hair care portfolio. The NCLT order specifies share exchange ratios and employee protection measures.
The amalgamation is expected to strengthen Dabur's market position in the hair care segment, potentially leading to revenue and growth synergies, but the full impact will be realized post-completion.
The NCLT order directing the convening of shareholder and creditor meetings for the amalgamation is a positive step forward in the corporate restructuring process.
Dabur India Limited has received an order from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), New Delhi Bench, dated March 12, 2026, for the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation between Sesa Care Private Limited and Dabur India Limited. The NCLT has directed Dabur India to convene meetings of its equity shareholders and unsecured creditors to consider and approve the amalgamation scheme.
The amalgamation aims to strengthen Dabur's position in the hair care category by integrating Sesa Care's premium ayurvedic brand. The rationale includes leveraging Dabur's supply chain, distribution network, and market expertise to enhance Sesa's growth potential and achieve operational synergies and cost optimization.
Previously, Dabur India had acquired a 51% stake in Sesa Care Private Limited through Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS) on January 10, 2025. The scheme also outlines provisions for the engagement and benefits of employees of Sesa Care, ensuring continuity of service and protection of existing benefits.
The NCLT order also details the share exchange ratio as determined by Finvox Analytics. For equity shares, it's 10 equity shares of Dabur for every 146,779 Class A equity shares or 244,860 Class B equity shares of Sesa. For CRPS, it's 10 equity shares of Dabur for every 433 CRPS of Sesa.
Meetings for equity shareholders and unsecured creditors of Dabur India will be convened via video conference with remote e-voting facilities. The NCLT has also dispensed with the requirement for meetings of secured creditors and NCD holders of Dabur India, as 100% consent was obtained. Similarly, for Sesa Care, meetings for shareholders and unsecured creditors have been dispensed with due to high consent rates (100% for shareholders, 98.94% for unsecured creditors), and there are no secured creditors for Sesa Care.
