    Adani's Vishvapradhan Commercial Pvt Ltd (VCPL) acquisition

    The Gautam Adani-owned companies had acquired a company that goes by the name of Vishvapradhan Commercial Pvt Ltd (VCPL), which lent more than Rs. 400 crore to the founders of NDTV. VPCL had given that amount of money nearly ten years ago in exchange for warrants, which permitted it to obtain a stake in NDTV of 29.18% at any time.

    As per the laws of the Securities and Exchanges Board of India(SEBI), an entity that acquires over 25% stake in a company can announce an open offer to its stakeholders, inviting them to put their shares up for sale. The VCPL, with Adani Enterprises Ltd and AMG Media Networks, proposed to buy an additional 26%, 1.67 crore equity shares, for Rs. 294 per share.
