Sudarshan Chemical Industries entered into a definitive agreement on October 11, 2024, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Sudarshan Europe B.V., the Netherlands (SEBV), to acquire the Global Pigment Business Operations of the Heubach Group of Germany (Heubach Group) on a debt-free basis for a total consideration of EURO 127.5 million (approximately ₹1,180 crore).

 

Pursuant to the acquisition, the company has acquired and taken control of 50 direct and step-down subsidiaries and 17 manufacturing sites from Heubach Group across various geographies across the globe.

 

The company is required to submit audited financial results for FY 2024-25, including the newly acquired subsidiaries, by May 30, 2025. However, because of the insolvency impact, extensive financial reporting integration, complexities involved in business combination accounting, the company said it would not be able to meet the deadline.
