With integrated processes, the Transferee Company can achieve higher scales of operation.

  • c) The amalgamation of the operations of the Transferor Company into the Transferee Company will assist the Transferor Company and its management in meeting the funding through a common funding mechanism. This will result in effective management and utilization of funds for capital expenditure and working capital. The efficiencies generated through cash management of the merged entity and access to cash flow generated by the combined business can be deployed more efficiently to fund organic and inorganic growth opportunities and to maximize shareholders value

  • d) The amalgamated company will have the benefit of synergy, optimum use of human relations, expertise, and stability of operations and would help to achieve economies of scale through efficient utilization of resources and facilities.

  • e) Strengthened leadership in the Industry, in terms of the asset base, revenues, product range, production volumes and market share of the combined entity.
