In a significant move within the Indian paint industry, JSW Paints is poised to acquire Akzo Nobel India for approximately $1.1 billion. This acquisition involves purchasing Akzo Nobel NV’s 74.76% stake in its Indian subsidiary, valuing the entire company at around ₹12,000–12,200 crore, which is about 25% below its current market valuation.
The deal is expected to position JSW Paints as a major player in both the decorative and industrial paint segments in India. Following the acquisition, JSW Paints will initiate an open offer for an additional 26% of Akzo Nobel India’s shares, as per regulatory requirements.
This strategic acquisition is anticipated to be finalized by mid-June, subject to the completion of necessary agreements and regulatory approvals.
