The proposed transaction comes after the two entities had received shares in Foseco India as part of the company's acquisition of a 75% stake in Morganite Crucible (India). Foseco India had agreed to issue 11,50,800 new equity shares, representing 15.27% of its share capital, to the sellers as consideration for the acquisition.
The stake sale follows Foseco India's acquisition of a 75% stake in Morganite Crucible (India), which was agreed in 2025. The transaction was structured through a share swap, with Foseco India issuing fresh shares to Morganite Crucible and Morgan Terrassen BV.

The acquisition was aimed at expanding Foseco India's exposure to the foundry business, particularly the non-ferrous segment, through Morganite Crucible's Molten Metal Systems business.
The proposed block deal would allow the two former shareholders to monetise their holding in Foseco India following the share-swap transaction.
