The proposed combination envisages UltraTech Cement's (acquirer) acquisition of 32.72 per cent of the paid-up equity share capital of India Cements (target) from the promoters and members of the promoter group of India Cements and Sri Saradha Logistics. CCI also granted its clearance to UltraTech Cement to acquire up to 26 per cent of the paid-up equity share capital of India Cements by way of an open offer. 

UltraTech Cement is the largest manufacturer of grey cement, Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) and white cement in India.
