Phoenix Mills Ltd. Increases Stake in ISMDPL to 68.10% post NCLT Approval
The Phoenix Mills Limited's stake in subsidiary ISMDPL increased to 68.10% after NCLT approved a ₹1,350 crore selective share capital reduction for CPP Investments. ISMDPL expects to become a wholly-owned subsidiary post-completion.
The transaction significantly increases the company's control over a material subsidiary and involves a substantial financial consideration, indicating a high impact.
The increase in shareholding and the move towards a wholly-owned subsidiary position are positive developments for the company.
The Phoenix Mills Limited has announced that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench, has approved the selective reduction of equity share capital of its material subsidiary, Island Star Mall Developers Private Limited (ISMDPL). This approval, granted via an order dated October 27, 2026, involves the cancellation and extinguishment of 3,25,69,360 fully paid-up equity shares held by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) in ISMDPL.
ISMDPL will pay an aggregate consideration of ₹1,350 crore for this share capital reduction. As a result of this transaction, The Phoenix Mills Limited's shareholding in ISMDPL has increased from 58.33% to 68.10%, while CPP Investments' stake has reduced from 41.67% to 31.90%.
This selective reduction is part of a larger framework agreement initiated on July 24, 2025, aimed at providing a complete exit for CPP Investments from its stake in ISMDPL. Previously, ISMDPL completed a buyback, and The Phoenix Mills Limited acquired additional shares from CPP Investments, increasing its stake to 58.33% as of November 14, 2025.
ISMDPL, incorporated on April 10, 2006, is engaged in operating and leasing malls like Phoenix MarketCity Bengaluru. Its subsidiaries manage developments in Pune, Bengaluru, and Indore. The company expects to complete the consideration payment within 30 days of filing the certified copy of the NCLT order with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Following the completion of the proposed transaction, The Phoenix Mills Limited will hold 100% of ISMDPL, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
