IHH indicated last week that it was ready to go ahead with the stalled open offer if the capital markets regulator allowed it
Malaysia's IHH Healthcare on Thursday said Sebi has advised it to proceed with its stalled open offer to acquire 26.1 per cent market share in Fortis Healthcare only after obtaining order from the Delhi High Court.

The company is waiting for a go-ahead to proceed with its stalled open offer to acquire an additional 26.1 per cent stake in Fortis.

Malaysia's IHH Healthcare is in discussions with relevant authorities in India to determine the next step for its stalled open offer for an additional 26.1 per cent stake in Fortis Healthcare, according to a company statement. The Supreme Court had last week ordered a forensic audit of the share sale of Fortis Healthcare to IHH Healthcare executed in 2018, in a contempt case filed by Japanese firm Daiichi Sankyo Company Ltd against the former promoters of Fortis, Singh brothers -- Malvinder and Shivinder, and others. In a statement, IHH Healthcare said the "Supreme Court has not found nor indicated any wrongdoing by IHH in terms of our investment into Fortis in its final order."
