Peak XV Partners Investments VI-1, an affiliate of the venture firm, sold a package of shares amounting to 1.46 percent in the Bengaluru-based trading platform for a total of 175.6 billion rupees in a block deal.

Peak XV Partners sold a 1.46% stake in the parent company Groww, Billionbrains Garage Ventures, for 175.6 billion rupees, reducing its holding in the brokerage company through a large transaction on the NSE. This transaction took place on Wednesday at an average price of 191.49 rupees per share, totaling 175.623 billion rupees.

Following the sale, Peak XV Partners' stake in Billionbrains Garage Ventures decreased from 15.68% to 14.22%. Nevertheless, the venture firm and its affiliates remain the largest public shareholders of Groww.

Indian firm to acquire 73-year-old African company for 13,000 crore rupees; stock impact expected

Although the stock market is closed on Monday, attention will be focused on Solar Industries' shares on Tuesday when trading resumes on Sensex-Nifty. This is due to a major deal in which the company plans to acquire a South African firm. The transaction is valued at approximately 13,000 crore rupees, and its impact may be reflected in the company's share price.

Solar Industries has a significant presence in the domestic market. This Indian company manufactures industrial explosives for the mining and infrastructure sectors, as well as supplies products related to the defense sector. Information about the new deal was published by Solar Industries on Monday. According to the announcement, the parent company, Solar SA Investments Proprietary Limited, intends to acquire all indebted shares of Omnia Holdings Limited, a South African company specializing in industrial explosives and fertilizers, pending necessary regulatory approvals.

Solar Industries specified that the acquisition of Omnia will be made entirely in cash for approximately 1.355 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 12,951 crore rupees).

Omnia Holdings Limited is headquartered in South Africa and is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Omnia's operations began 73 years ago. The company possesses specializations and solutions in the mining and agricultural sectors. Omnia operates in 23 countries worldwide, providing services through more than 70 centers in key international markets, including Southern and West Africa, Australia, the United States of America, Canada, Brazil, and Indonesia.

In the last fiscal year, Omnia's revenue was approximately 1.41 billion US dollars (about 13,307 crore rupees). Meanwhile, Solar Industries' net profit in the first quarter of the current fiscal year increased by 93%, reaching 653 crore rupees.

Generally, when any company enters into a major deal or related news emerges, it often leads to changes in its stock value. Consequently, Solar Industries' shares involved in the 12,951 crore rupee deal are under close scrutiny, and it is expected that some change will occur on Tuesday when the stock market opens.

Previously, on Friday when the Solar Industries stock market closed, the price was 22,350 rupees. During intraday trading, this asset started moving from 22,300 rupees, rising to 22,500 rupees. The current market capitalization of this company is 2.02 lakh crore rupees, and the five-year price high reached 22,625 rupees.

Solar Industries stock is listed among the country's expensive stocks and provides consistent returns to its investors. This is evidenced by the return rate achieved by investors who invested in Solar Industries Shares. Over the past five years, this asset has grown by 1029%, and the stock price has increased from 1,979 rupees to 22,350 rupees. Furthermore, there has been strong growth in the stock price over the last six months by 59%, and in one month, it provided investors with a return of 12%.
