Anupam Rasayan India Limited, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Mates Visa Consultancy Private Limited (PAC), has launched a mandatory open offer to acquire up to 26% of the expanded voting share capital of Bliss GVS Pharma Limited . The offer targets 2,77,26,848 equity shares at a price of ₹299.00 per share, aggregating to a total consideration of ₹829.03 crore. The tendering period commences on July 28, 2026, and closes on August 10, 2026, providing public shareholders an opportunity to exit or participate in the change of control triggered by the acquisition of 43.11% stake via a share purchase agreement dated May 23, 2026.
The Committee of Independent Directors (IDC) of Bliss GVS Pharma recommended the open offer as fair and reasonable in a meeting held on July 22, 2026. The IDC noted that the offer price of ₹299.00 is determined in accordance with Regulation 8(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. It represents the highest of the applicable pricing parameters, including the volume-weighted average market price of ₹247.55 on the National Stock Exchange for the 60 trading days preceding the public announcement. However, the IDC highlighted that the closing market prices on BSE and NSE on July 17, 2026, were ₹482.50 and ₹483.50 respectively, which are significantly higher than the offer price.
The acquisition involves Anupam Rasayan India assigning its rights under the share purchase agreement to its PAC, Mates Visa Consultancy Private Limited, following the execution of a deed of adherence on July 17, 2026. Consequently, all shares tendered in the open offer will be acquired by the PAC. SBI Capital Markets Limited serves as the manager to the open offer, while MUFG Intime India Private Limited acts as the registrar. The offer is not conditional upon any minimum level of acceptance.
