The company has acquired Brazil's Vale Do Ivaí SA Açúcar e Álcool (VDI) at an enterprise value of $240 million (Rs 1,112 crore). This is the first overseas acquistion by an Indian sugar company and comes at a time when sugar companies are looking for opportunities abroad, partly due to restrictions on undertaking farming directly.
