Kirloskar Industries Limited announced on June 3, 2026, that its material subsidiary, Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited (KFIL), has secured approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench, for a scheme of arrangement and merger. The tribunal pronounced an order on June 2, 2026, approving the merger by absorption of Oliver Engineering Private Limited and Adicca Energy Solutions Private Limited with KFIL. The scheme, effective from the appointed date of April 1, 2025, facilitates the consolidation of businesses to enable long-term sustainability and streamline the current holding structure, thereby reducing the number of companies and associated regulatory compliances.
The Board of Directors of the respective companies approved the original Scheme of Amalgamation on August 4, 2025. The merger involves two wholly owned subsidiaries of KFIL; consequently, no shares of the transferee company will be issued, and no consideration will be discharged upon the scheme becoming effective. The issued and paid-up capital of the transferor companies will stand cancelled. The NCLT order also addressed an inadvertent arithmetical error in the post-merger authorised share capital of KFIL, which was corrected via board resolutions passed on April 4, 2026, without materially altering the scheme.
