JK Tyre merging Cavendish subsidiary
JK Tyre & Industries Ltd. is working towards merging with its 2016-acquired subsidiary Cavendish Industries Ltd. (CIL). Following the merger, all the company’s tyre operations in India will be housed within a single listed company, an arrangement expected to result in greater synergies, a simplified structure and less red tape. JK Tyre also views a merger with CIL as a means of “unlocking value” for its shareholders as well as improving investor perceptions.
