Vindhya Telelinks to Amalgamate Birla Cable Limited
Vindhya Telelinks Limited's Board approved the amalgamation of Birla Cable Limited into Vindhya Telelinks. The scheme is subject to NCLT approval. Birla Cable had assets of ₹463.91 crore and turnover of ₹557.01 crore (9MFY26). Vindhya Telelinks had consolidated assets of ₹8,484.07 crore and turnover of ₹2,583.91 crore (9MFY26). Shareholders will receive 10 shares of Vindhya Telelinks for every 115 shares of Birla Cable.
The merger of two companies, especially within the same group and business line, is a significant corporate action that will fundamentally alter the structure and scale of the combined entity, impacting its market position and operational capabilities.
The amalgamation is expected to create a larger, more competitive entity with enhanced operational efficiencies and market presence, which is positive for the company and its shareholders.
Vindhya Telelinks Limited announced that its Board of Directors has approved a Scheme of Amalgamation between Birla Cable Limited (Transferor Company) and Vindhya Telelinks Limited (Transferee Company). The amalgamation, which will see Birla Cable Limited merged into Vindhya Telelinks Limited, is subject to regulatory approvals, including from the National Company Law Tribunal.
The board meeting, held on March 21, 2026, commenced at 5:45 PM and concluded at 6:20 PM. The proposed Scheme will be filed with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited to obtain their no-objection or observation letters.
As per the details provided, Birla Cable Limited had total assets of ₹463.91 crore (standalone) and a turnover of ₹557.01 crore for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Vindhya Telelinks Limited reported total assets of ₹8,484.07 crore (consolidated) and a turnover of ₹2,583.91 crore for the same period.
The transaction falls under related party transactions as Vindhya Telelinks Limited is a promoter of Birla Cable Limited. However, it will not be subject to Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, as per a Ministry of Corporate Affairs circular. The share exchange ratio has been determined by registered valuers and supported by a fairness opinion from SBI Capital Markets Limited.
The rationale for the amalgamation includes consolidating manufacturing and commercial capabilities, enhancing market presence and competitive positioning, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening the balance sheet for larger project execution. It aims to create a unified entity with enhanced market leadership and rationalized corporate structure.
No cash consideration will be paid. Upon effectiveness, Vindhya Telelinks Limited will issue 10 equity shares of face value ₹10 each for every 115 equity shares held by the shareholders of Birla Cable Limited.
