On October 6, the company board at its meeting had discussed the proposal received from Samruddhi Cement in relation to a potential consolidation of the company with Ultratech Cement.
The board had constituted and authorised a committee of directors and officers of the company to evaluate and consider the proposal in consultation with legal and financial advisors.
