01:20pm Maruti in News

Having run into troubles with institutional investors over its Gujarat plant transfer to parent Suzuki, car maker Maruti now wants to seek approval of minority shareholders after a proposed relaxation comes into effect in the Companies Act.

Maruti Suzuki India had earlier planned to seek shareholders' approval for the transaction in November. The Cabinet, meanwhile, has cleared a slew of amendments this month to various aspects of the new Companies Act. 

"Now another new factor which is the proposed amendment to the Companies (Amendment) Bill has come up. So it would not make sense to go for the vote till we know what that bill is and what the future is," MSI Chairman RC Bhargava told PTI. 

Once the changes come into effect, after Parliament's nod, it would become easier for companies to get shareholder approvals for related party transactions. Maruti's proposed plant transfer to Suzuki falls under this category of transactions.
