国
IN THE NATIONAL COMPANY LAW TRIBUNAL MUMBAI BENCH-I
C.P.(CAA)/39(MB)2026 IN C.A.(CAA)/7(MB)2026
i. The First Applicant Company is wholly owned subsidiary of the Second Applicant Company, so merger will help to consolidate the entities.
ii. Consolidation of construction chemicals business: The merger will lead to consolidation of construction chemicals business enabling economies of scale and efficiency in operations. Further, same would also help to eliminate duplication of operations for the construction chemicals business.
iii. Business synergies: The merger will help Thermax directly expand it's market reach by accessing the network already established by Buildtech where Thermax had a limited presence otherwise.
iv. Simplification of group - 30 structure: The merger will result in a reduction in the multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances required at present to be separately carried out by the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company. The merger will also result in reduction in the overheads including administrative, managerial and other expenditure, and optimal utilization of resources by elimination, if unnecessary duplication of activities, and related costs.
v. Pooling of resources: The merger will provide cash flow management and unfettered access to cash flow and other resources generated by the construction chemicals business which can be deployed more effectively for the purpose of development of businesses of combined entity, their growth opportunities, eliminate inter corporate dependencies and to maximize shareholder value.
vi. Higher value for employees: The merger would motivate employees of the Transferor Company by providing better opportunities to scale up their performance with a larger corporate entity having large revenue base, resources, assets base etc. which

will boost employee morale and provide to better corporate performance ultimately enhancing shareholder value.
- The Applicants have submitted the following documents and this Tribunal has perused them:
a. Certificate of Incorporation, MOA & AOA of the Applicant Companies.
b. Audited Financials 31st March 2025 of the Applicant companies and unaudited financial statement of the Applicant Companies as on 31st December 2025.

d. Copy of Pre and Post Scheme net-worth certificate of the Second Petitioner Company.

- Learned Counsel for the Applicant Companies submits that the Transferor Company has 7 equity shareholders holding 15,21,000 shares amounting to Rs.1,52,10,000/-, and since all shareholders have filed consent affidavits supporting the Scheme, the meeting of equity shareholders was sought to be dispensed with. The Transferor Company has no secured creditors, while the Transferee Company has 7 secured creditors with dues of Rs.1287.62 crores, out of which creditors representing 97% in value have provided consent affidavits. Further, the Transferor Company is a wholly

IN THE NATIONAL COMPANY LAW TRIBUNAL MUMBAI BENCH-I
C.P.(CAA)/39(MB)2026 IN C.A.(CAA)/7(MB)2026
owned subsidiary of the Transferee Company, and since the entire share capital is already held by the Transferee Company, no new shares are required to be issued under the Scheme. The Applicant Companies also submitted that the Transferor Company has 52 unsecured creditors and the Transferee Company has 4,809 unsecured creditors, with creditors representing 92.71% in value having consented to the Scheme. It was contended that the Scheme would not adversely affect the rights of shareholders or creditors, there would be no reduction of claims, the capital structure of the Transferee Company would remain unchanged, and the merged entity would possess sufficient assets to satisfy all liabilities.
-
A certificate dated 17th October 2025 issued by Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP, the Statutory Auditor of the Applicant Companies stating that the accounting treatment proposed in the scheme of arrangement is in conformity with the accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 is attached with the original joint application.
-
The consideration for the proposed scheme of arrangement is as follows:
"Since the Transferee Company along with its nominees holds the entire equity share capital of the Transferor Company, upon amalgamation, neither any consideration will be paid nor any shares shall be issued by the Transferee Company to the shareholders of the Transferor Company in consideration of or consequent upon the amalgamation and the shares of the Transferor Company held by the Transferee Company shall stand extinguished upon the Scheme becoming effective.."
- The Regional Director, Western Region ('RD') has filed a report on 29th April 2026 and has expressed no objections to the Scheme ("RD Report"). The observations in the RD Report have been dealt with by the Applicant Companies in its Affidavit in Reply filed with this Tribunal. After
