Redington Limited has announced a significant development regarding its step-down subsidiary, Arena Bilgisayar Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S (“Arena”), which is listed in Istanbul, Turkey. The company has now received the necessary regulatory approvals to proceed with the transfer of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paynet Ödeme Hizmetler A.Ş (“Paynet”), to Iyzi Payment and Electronic Money Services Inc.

The move comes after Redington had initially disclosed its intent to divest Paynet on May 7, 2024. The latest update confirms that both the Turkish Competition Authority and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey have given their approval for the transaction. 

Redington’s share price was trading marginally higher by 0.20% as of 11:21 AM on February 7, 2025.

Transaction Progress and Next Steps

With regulatory clearances now in place, the final share transfer and sale process will be completed following the fulfilment of the conditions outlined in the definitive agreement signed on May 6, 2024. This agreement sets the framework for the completion of the transaction, ensuring compliance with all legal and procedural requirements.

Upon the successful conclusion of the transfer, Redington will provide further updates as per regulatory obligations.

Strategic Implications

The divestment of Paynet aligns with Redington’s broader corporate strategy, possibly aimed at streamlining its portfolio and focusing on its core operations. While the company has not explicitly disclosed the reasons behind the divestment, such moves are often driven by strategic realignment or a shift in market priorities.

With the transaction nearing completion, stakeholders will be watching closely for Redington’s next steps, particularly in how the proceeds or resources freed up from this sale will be redeployed within the organisation.

Financial Performance 

Redington reported an 18% rise in quarterly profit, driven by consistent demand for computers and mobile phones—its largest business segments.

The growing adoption of AI-powered computers in corporate and educational sectors, along with new smartphone launches, has helped manufacturers and distributors navigate inflationary pressures and fluctuating demand.

Redington, a key distributor for Apple and Samsung, recorded a profit of ₹400 crore for the October–December quarter, up from ₹341 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations increased nearly 14% to ₹26,716 crore, supported by a 9% growth in its mobile phone business and a 6% rise in its consumer and commercial computer segment.

Additionally, the company’s technology solutions division saw a 28% increase in revenue, driven by higher software spending.

Redington has been expanding into new markets and strengthening its cloud services division to diversify beyond electronics distribution, which remains its primary revenue driver

Indus Towers Limited has announced its decision to acquire passive telecom infrastructure assets, including 16,100 telecom towers, from Bharti Airtel Limited and Bharti Hexacom Limited. This acquisition, conducted via a slump sale, aligns with the company’s strategic focus on market expansion and operational synergy.

As of 9:48 am on February 7, 2025, the share price of Indus Towers was trading over 2.5% higher.

Strengthening Market Position

With a pan-India presence of 2,34,643 towers and 3,86,819 co-locations as of December 31, 2024, Indus Towers has been a significant player in the telecom infrastructure sector. The acquisition is expected to further bolster its asset base, allowing for enhanced coverage and service capabilities.

The closing sharing factor for the company stands at 1.65, and the additional infrastructure is anticipated to improve this metric, leading to increased operational efficiency.

Transaction Details and Financial Considerations

This transaction is classified as a related-party transaction since Bharti Airtel is the promoter and holding company of Indus Towers, while Bharti Hexacom is a fellow subsidiary. However, the acquisition is conducted at arm’s length, based on an independent valuation report, and has received approval from the Audit & Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors.

The total cost of the acquisition is capped at ₹33,087 million, subject to closing adjustments agreed upon by the parties. The deal will be financed through borrowings, and completion is expected on or before March 31, 2025, subject to statutory and regulatory approvals.

Strategic Benefits and Growth Outlook

The acquisition aligns with Indus Towers’ growth strategy, enhancing its footprint in the telecom infrastructure segment. By increasing the number of towers under its management, the company aims to improve service offerings, optimise resource allocation, and drive revenue growth through increased sharing opportunities.

Furthermore, the acquisition positions Indus Towers favourably amid the rising demand for robust telecom infrastructure, as network providers expand their 4G and 5G capabilities across the country.

Aurobindo Pharma has decided to take full control of Tergene Biotech by acquiring the remaining shares from its subsidiary, Auro Vaccines. This step will simplify the company’s structure, enhance management efficiency and support its expansion in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry.

Overview of the Acquisition

Aurobindo Pharma has approved the acquisition of the remaining 80% equity stake in Tergene Biotech Limited from Auro Vaccines Private Limited. This transaction will transition Tergene from a step-down subsidiary to a direct subsidiary of Aurobindo Pharma. 

Financial and Regulatory Aspects

The acquisition is valued at ₹107.6 million and will be executed through cash payment. Since Aurobindo Pharma and its subsidiaries are related entities, the transaction falls under internal restructuring and does not require regulatory approvals. The acquisition will not impact Aurobindo Pharma’s overall finances since Tergene has had no revenue in recent years and a net loss of ₹42.40 crore.

Reason for Acquisition and Industry Background

Tergene Biotech operates in the pharmaceutical sector, specialising in the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products. Aurobindo Pharma’s objective behind this acquisition is to streamline its corporate structure by directly integrating Tergene into its operational framework. This move aligns with the company’s strategic initiatives to strengthen its presence in the biotech and vaccine segments.

Timeline and Additional Details

The acquisition is expected to be completed by February 28, 2025. Tergene, established in 2008 in India, previously recorded a revenue of ₹15 million in FY 2021-22 but reported no turnover in the past two financial years. Despite its financial challenges, Aurobindo Pharma sees value in fully owning and managing its subsidiary to optimize business operations and future growth.

Aurobindo Pharma Share Performance 

As of February 07, 2025, at 11:05 AM, the shares of Aurobindo Pharma Ltd are trading at ₹1,209.35 per share, up 1.47% from yesterday’s closing price. Over the last month, the stock has declined by 6.79%. The stock’s 52-week high is ₹1,592 and its low is ₹958.50.

The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) has selected HG Infra Engineering and DEC Infrastructure Private Limited as the lowest bidder (L1) for the redevelopment of the New Delhi Railway Station.

The contract has been awarded at ₹2,195.68 crore, lower than RLDA’s estimated cost of ₹2,469 crore. The project is expected to be completed within 45 months.

Project Details and Financial Aspects

HG Infra Engineering and DEC Infrastructure Private Limited have formed a joint venture to execute the project, with HG Infra holding a 49% stake and DEC Infrastructure holding a 51% share. 

The redevelopment will follow the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) mode. The project aims to enhance passenger experience by modernising the infrastructure while maintaining operational efficiency at one of India’s busiest railway stations.

The redevelopment project has faced several hurdles in the past, with earlier bids being significantly higher than the RLDA’s estimated budget. Despite multiple attempts since 2002-03, the project faced financial and administrative roadblocks. 

In 2021, the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model was considered but could not proceed due to high quoted costs.

Challenges and Historical Context

One of the major challenges for this redevelopment is the congestion in the Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj areas, which surround the station. These heavily populated regions pose logistical difficulties for large-scale infrastructure projects. 

Railway officials have previously acknowledged that managing traffic and minimising disruptions will be crucial to the success of the project.

The New Delhi Railway Station redevelopment was first proposed in 2002-03 but failed to secure adequate funding. The idea resurfaced in 2008-09 but encountered planning issues. The latest plan gained traction in 2022 when the Railway Ministry released a proposed design, showcasing improved passenger amenities and upgraded facilities.

HG Infra Share Performance

As of February 07, 2025, at 2:25 PM, the shares of HG Infra are trading at ₹1,261.25 per share down by 0.89% from its previous day’s closing price.
