Mindtree Ltd. on Wednesday said Larsen and Toubro Ltd. has "acquired control" of the company with a 60.06 percent stake and has been categorised as promoter.
The development is significant as the IT firm's founders had initially resisted the L&T-Mindtree takeover bid and also tried to rally support of large investors in the initial weeks of the three-step acqusition process.

L&T had on Tuesday said that it has made payments to shareholders who tendered their shares successfully in the Mindtree open offer, which closed on June 28.

It then shored up its holding by buying shares from the open market and the subsequent open offer.
