Dabur Secures NCLT Nod to Merge Sesa Care into Main Business
Dabur has obtained National Company Law Tribunal approval to combine Sesa Care with its core operations, advancing the merger announced in October 2024.
Dabur’s acquisition of a controlling 51% interest in Sesa Care from True North for Rs 12.59 crore was announced in October 2024, placing the target’s enterprise value at an estimated Rs 315-325 crore, which includes Rs 299 crore of debt secured by Dabur’s corporate guarantee. After the board gave its approval to the merger plan in May 2025, the National Company Law Tribunal granted the necessary sanction, marking a key milestone for the transaction.
The company said the merger will strengthen its existing hair-care portfolio and open new growth avenues. By folding Sesa Care into Dabur India, the group expects to use its extensive distribution channels and international presence to broaden the subsidiary’s market reach. The combined entity also targets revenue expansion and cost efficiencies through integrated operations. Completion now depends on final statutory filings and related formalities.
Why it matters
The approval moves a major Indian consumer-goods merger forward, potentially reshaping the hair-care market and boosting Dabur’s growth.
