Abstract:

The case examines how Grasim, a leading Indian business conglomerate, gained control over the cement business of another business group, L&T through stock market mechanizations. It discusses the rationale for Grasim's acquisition of stake in L&T and also examines the acquisition tactics adopted by Grasim to increase its share in L&T. It covers the role of India's stock market regulatory authorities in the issue with respect to insider trading at L&T, the open offer chaos and takeover code violations by Grasim. The case critically examines L&T's decision to demerge the cement division to prevent a takeover by Grasim. The case explores the moves and counter moves adopted by both the companies in this tussle. Finally, it details the settlement plan accepted by both the parties.
