Ashok Leyland's material subsidiary, Hinduja Leyland Finance Limited (HLFL), is set to merge into NDL Ventures Limited (formerly NXTDIGITAL Limited) via a Scheme of Merger by Absorption. SEBI, on May 18, 2026, provided 16 comments/observations on the draft scheme requiring enhanced disclosures including promoter shareholding changes, valuation reports, and 3-year financials of all entities involved. BSE subsequently issued a 'no adverse observations' letter, allowing the companies to file the scheme with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) within 6 months. The SEBI observations mandate that public shareholders' approval must exceed votes against the proposal, and all liabilities of HLFL will transfer to NDL.
For Ashok Leyland shareholders, the merger removes a significant non-banking finance subsidiary from its structure, potentially simplifying the group but reducing diversification. The deal requires NCLT approval and public shareholder consent before completion.
