Several listed Indian companies have recently announced important updates related to acquisitions, stake purchases, and strategic investments. These developments highlight how companies are strengthening control over subsidiaries, expanding into renewable energy, and funding future growth. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the key announcements.
Arvind Fashions to Acquire Full Ownership of Arvind Youth Brands
Arvind Fashions Limited has signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Flipkart India Private Limited to acquire the remaining 31.25% stake in Arvind Youth Brands Private Limited (AYBPL). The transaction is valued at ₹135 crore, to be paid entirely in cash.
Once completed, AYBPL will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Arvind Fashions. The company operates in the wholesale and retail apparel segment under the well-known brand “Flying Machine.”
The acquisition is aimed at improving operational efficiency, strengthening strategic decision-making, and gaining complete control over the brand’s growth direction. For the financial year ended March 31, 2025, AYBPL reported a turnover of ₹432.16 crore, underlining its strong market presence.
Aurobindo Pharma Extends Timeline for Solar Power Investment
Aurobindo Pharma Limited has provided an update on its proposed acquisition of up to a 26% stake in Swarnaakshu Solar Power Private Limited. The investment is part of a captive solar power arrangement, designed to support the company’s renewable energy and sustainability goals.
However, the acquisition has been delayed due to pending state government approvals required for setting up the captive solar power plant. As a result, the company has extended the deadline for completing the investment from December 31, 2025, to on or before March 31, 2026.
DOMS Industries Revises Stake Acquisition Timeline in Pioneer Stationery
DOMS Industries Limited has revised the timeline for acquiring an additional 13% stake in its subsidiary, Pioneer Stationery Private Limited. The company has already completed the acquisition of a 6.5% stake from existing shareholders.
The remaining stake acquisition, initially planned for completion by the end of 2025, has now been extended following a mutual agreement between DOMS Industries and the Gala Group Shareholders. The revised deadline for completing the transaction is on or before March 31, 2026.

Aditya Birla Capital Limited (ABCL) has made an additional investment of ₹40 crore in its wholly owned subsidiary, Aditya Birla Capital Digital Limited (ABCDL). The investment was made on a rights issue basis through cash consideration.
The funds will be used to support the growth and funding requirements of ABCDL, which operates in the digital financial services space. Since ABCDL was already a wholly owned subsidiary, ABCL’s shareholding remains unchanged at 100%. The equity shares related to this transaction were officially allotted on December 29, 2025.
