Setco Automotive's board approved acquiring the remaining 10.32% stake in its subsidiary Lava Cast Private Limited (LCPL) for a nominal ₹1, making LCPL a wholly-owned subsidiary. The company will also acquire 1,40,000 NCDs of LCPL (face value ₹1,000 each) from another subsidiary, Setco Auto Systems (SASPL), for ₹1. Additionally, a ₹97.56 crore unsecured loan owed by LCPL to SASPL will be assigned to Setco Automotive for ₹1. This is a group-level restructuring aimed at simplifying the corporate structure, consolidating inter-company investments, and improving balance-sheet transparency. LCPL manufactures fully machined casting components, with turnover rising from ₹35.55 crores (FY23) to ₹67.69 crores (FY24) to ₹87.38 crores (FY25).
This is an internal restructuring at virtually no cash cost (₹1 nominal consideration), so it should not materially impact consolidated financials or stock price. However, it simplifies the group structure, eliminates minority interests, and gives the parent direct control over LCPL's operations and debt.
