Vardhman Textiles' Board approved a Shareholders Agreement (SHA) with Japan's Aichi Steel Corporation (ASC) and other promoters, formalizing their relationship as shareholders of Vardhman Special Steels Limited (VSSL). The SHA follows ASC's additional investment in VSSL, taking its stake from 11.33% to 24.90% under a Share Subscription and Investment Agreement signed on May 29, 2025. Key terms include share transfer restrictions (no transfers to competitors), 3-year lock-in on ASC's subscribed shares, Right of First Refusal, Tag Along and Drag Along rights, and non-compete obligations. The SHA will automatically terminate if ASC's stake in VSSL falls below pre-agreed thresholds.
Positive signal for shareholders — a major Japanese steel player (part of the Toyota Group) is increasing its strategic commitment in promoter-group company VSSL to nearly 25%, indicating strong international confidence in the steel business. This formalizes the partnership structure and could enhance long-term value for the Vardhman group, though the deal is at the VSSL level rather than directly expanding Vardhman Textiles' own operations.
