Titagarh Firema SpA completes transfer of business unit for EUR 66.095 million
Titagarh's associate, Firema SpA, transferred its business unit for EUR 66.095 million (approx. ₹587.6 crore) to Fabbrica Italiana Treni S.p.A. The proceeds will clear creditors. This move aims to stop cash outflows from TRSL, which has an order book of ₹10,791 crore in rolling stock.
The transaction involves a substantial amount (EUR 66.095 million) and pertains to an associate company that was previously a drain on TRSL's resources. While TRSL itself is not directly impacted operationally, the financial restructuring of an associate can have indirect implications on the group's overall financial health and strategic focus.
The transfer of a business unit by an associate company is a significant event. While it aims to stop cash outflows for TRSL, the associated company has been incurring losses, and the net consideration is used for debt repayment. The impact on TRSL's operations is stated to be nil, making the sentiment neutral.
Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL) has announced that its associate company, Titagarh Firema SpA, Italy, has completed the transfer of its business unit to Fabbrica Italiana Treni S.p.A (owned by the government of Italy). The net consideration for this transaction is EUR 66,095,000 (approximately ₹587.6 crore). The funds received by Firema have been utilized for the payment of secured and unsecured creditors under the CNC process at the Court of Naples. The residual assets of Firema will be managed by its Board, and there is currently no change in its shareholding.
Firema, acquired by TRSL in 2015, played a role in establishing TRSL's Passenger Rolling Stock business in India, including an aluminum car body manufacturing facility. Despite cash infusions from TRSL, Firema has incurred substantial losses. This transfer is expected to stop the need for further cash requirements from TRSL.
TRSL's current order book for Metro Coaches, Vande Bharat Trains, and propulsion systems stands at approximately ₹10,791 crore. The company stated that this transfer will not impact TRSL's operations, as it has independently established its facilities and capabilities in this segment. Further updates will be provided as developments occur.
