In July, Texmaco Rail had signed an agreement with JRIL and its shareholders to acquire 100% stake in the company, for a cash consideration of Rs 614 crore.
Texmaco Rail and Engineering Ltd. has acquired the complete stake in Jindal Rail and Infrastructure Ltd., making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.
Both the parties have completed all the conditions required for acquiring all of the rights, title and interest in the securities of Jindal Rail & Infrastructure from its existing shareholders—JITF Urban Infrastructure Services Ltd. and Siddeshwari Tradex Pvt.—on a fully diluted basis, according to an exchange filing on Tuesday.
