Shadowfax Technologies Acquires Remaining Stake in CIPL, Making it Wholly Owned Subsidiary
Shadowfax Technologies is acquiring the final tranche of equity shares in Criticalog India Private Limited (CIPL), making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The company previously acquired 89.59% for ₹48.16 crore. CIPL's FY25 turnover was ₹108.05 crore. The acquisition is expected to complete by April 2026.
The acquisition of a subsidiary, while strategic, is unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on the overall financials of a larger listed entity unless specific financial details of the transaction indicate otherwise. The scale of CIPL's turnover is moderate in relation to a potentially larger listed company.
The acquisition of a target entity, leading to its complete ownership, is generally a positive development for a company as it enhances strategic control and potential synergies.
Shadowfax Technologies Limited announced its acquisition of the remaining and last tranche of equity shares in Criticalog India Private Limited (CIPL) from its founders. This acquisition will make CIPL a wholly owned subsidiary of Shadowfax Technologies.

As of January 22, 2026, Shadowfax had already acquired two tranches, comprising 6,716 equity shares and 15,417 preference shares, representing 89.59% of CIPL on a fully diluted basis, for a consideration of ₹481.55 million.
CIPL is engaged in freight management, air and road express delivery, freight forwarding, intermodal transportation, warehousing, customs house clearance, trade compliance, and supply chain management. Its turnover for FY25 was ₹108.05 crore (1080.53 million), ₹91.99 crore (919.94 million) for FY24, and ₹92.92 crore (929.23 million) for FY23. The acquisition is aimed at strengthening Shadowfax's capacity to handle high-value, critical shipments effectively.
