Mazagon Dock to Acquire Stake in Sri Lanka's Colombo Dockyard
Imagine a big Indian company that builds ships called Mazagon Dock.
They're buying a big part of a ship-building company in Sri Lanka.
This deal cost about 452 crore rupees.
Mazagon Dock makes money, but their recent profits were a bit lower than before.
They also gave money to their shareholders earlier in the year.
This means more focus on the company's shares.
Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) will be in focus on June 30 due to the acquisition.
MDL acquired a 51% stake in Colombo Dockyard PLC (CDPLC) for USD 52.96 million (Rs 452 crore).
The acquisition involved primary subscription and secondary acquisitions from CDPLC shareholders.
MDL is an Indian defense public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Defence.
