Key Details

Cello World Limited disclosed on May 15, 2026, that the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench, had uploaded an order dated May 14, 2026, sanctioning the Composite Scheme of Arrangement among Wim Plast Limited (WPL), Cello Consumer Products Private Limited (CCPPL), and Cello World Limited (CWL), along with their respective shareholders and creditors. The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The joint company petition was filed on December 12, 2025, as the second motion under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Parties to the Scheme

The three petitioner companies involved in the composite scheme are incorporated and registered in Daman and Diu, India. The key details of the parties are summarised below:

The bench comprised Mrs. Chitra Hankare, Hon'ble Member (Judicial), and Dr. Velamur G Venkata Chalapathy, Hon'ble Member (Technical). Mr. Ravi Pahwa appeared for the applicants, Mr. Shivpal Singh represented the Regional Director, and Mr. Aman Mir appeared for the Income Tax Department.

Structure of the Composite Scheme

The scheme envisages a two-step corporate restructuring exercise. The first step involves the demerger, transfer, and vesting of the demerged undertaking (as defined in the scheme) from WPL into CCPPL on a going concern basis. The second step involves the amalgamation of WPL with CWL, with CWL issuing equity shares to the shareholders of WPL (other than shares held by CWL) as consideration for both steps. The scheme also provides for various other matters consequential and incidental to these transactions.

The key stated benefits of the amalgamation, as submitted by the petitioners, include:

• Synergy of operations and economies of scale, with legal and regulatory compliances of both listed entities unified and streamlined
• Consolidation of ownership interests in one listed company instead of two listed entities
• Unified approach on customer engagement, distribution, and supply chain management, leading to operational and financial efficiencies

Regulatory Compliance and Statutory Approvals

Prior to the NCLT order, the petitioner companies obtained no-objection letters from BSE and NSE on July 3, 2025, and July 2, 2025, respectively. The share exchange ratio was determined by KPMG Valuation Services LLP, a registered valuer, vide a report dated November 12, 2024. A fairness opinion dated November 12, 2024, was also obtained from an independent SEBI-registered merchant banker. The boards of directors of the petitioner companies approved the scheme vide separate board resolutions dated November 12, 2024. Stakeholder meetings were conducted as directed by the tribunal, with notices published in Indian Express (English, national edition) and Sandesh (vernacular, Gujarat edition) on November 4, 2025.

The Regional Director, ROC Goa, Official Liquidator, and Income Tax Department filed their respective reports. The ROC noted an ongoing inquiry under Section 206(4) of the Companies Act, 2013, ordered by the office of the Director General (Corporate Affairs) regarding alleged misstatements in Cello World's RHP and Prospectus. The petitioners clarified that the scheme is a purely corporate restructuring exercise and that all pending proceedings against the third petitioner company shall continue unaffected. The Income Tax Department raised no objection to the scheme, and no-objection letters from the Income Tax Department were received by the first and second petitioner companies.
