Promoter group entities of VIP Industries have agreed to sell up to 58 percent stake in the luggage company to a consortium led by Multiples Private Equity for a total consideration of INR 3,200 crore, according to a stock exchange filing.
The transaction involves the sale of around 4.54 crore shares, or 32 percent of the company's total equity, by Kemp & Company, DGP Securities, Piramal Vibhuti Investments, Alcon Finance and Kiddy Plast. These entities are part of the promoter group and will transfer their holdings to Multiples PE funds along with Samvibhag Securities, Mithun Padam Sancheti and Siddhartha Sancheti for INR 1,763.3 crore.
Following this, the consortium will launch an open offer to acquire an additional 26 percent stake in VIP Industries. The offer is valued at INR 1,437.8 crore. Once the open offer is completed, the consortium will assume management and control of the company.
The shares are being sold at INR 388 apiece, which represents a discount of approximately 15 percent to the closing price of VIP Industries on the previous trading day.
As of March, DGP Securities held around 27 percent stake in the company, while Vibhuti Investments owned 15.7 percent. Kemp & Company, Kiddy Plast and Alcon Finance collectively held a little over 6 percent. Promoter Dilip Piramal directly holds a 0.5 percent stake.
A company release stated, "Upon completion of the transaction, control of the company will be transferred to Multiples Private Equity, while Dilip Piramal and Family will continue to be shareholders. Dilip Piramal will be Chairman Emeritus."
The new acquirers will have the right to nominate a majority of the board of directors. In addition, DGP will retain the right to recommend one independent director or nominate a family member as a non-independent non-executive director.
Speaking on the development, Dilip Piramal said, "This marks an important step toward reviving the company's strong legacy and helping it regain its foothold in the Indian luggage market, where it has struggled in recent years."

Casio to Release MR-G with Iconic Form Finished in Traditional Japanese Tsuiki Artistry
Limited Edition G-SHOCK of Only 500 Worldwide TOKYO, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new MRG-B5000HT, featuring the iconic form of the G-SHOCK 5000 line and finished with the traditional Japanese tsuiki* hammering technique, is a timepiece of striking strength and stunning beauty. This very special timepiece is offered in a limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide. * A forging technique in which a metal plate is hammered to create a three-dimensional shape The MRG-B5000HT inherits the iconic form of the first-ever G-SHOCK and takes on textural detail with bezel and bracelet individually hand-hammered by a tsuiki master craftsman, showcasing the profound beauty of the shock-resistant timepiece. The tsuiki-finished bezel and bracelet are made of DAT55G, a special titanium alloy developed in Japan that is three times harder than pure titanium. Individually hand-hammered by master tsuiki artisan Kazuya Watanabe, the incredibly detailed pattern, unique to each watch, is forged by the shape of the chisel tip and the force with which he wields his hammer. The case's oborogin color, the silver-gray with a unique luster of traditional sword fittings and ornaments, is achieved with diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. The deep, shiny copper color of the screws and buttons add touches of glamor to the overall watch design. Combining design that highlights traditional Japanese aesthetics with outstanding toughness, this is a bold and powerful MR-G worthy of the G-SHOCK flagship line. Kazuya WatanabeBorn in 1978 in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. After graduating from the Department of Arts and Crafts Design at Nagaoka Institute of Design in 2001, Watanabe joined Gyokusendo, a historic copperware factory. There, he studied traditional techniques of hammering copperware before establishing his own forge in 2005. Engaging in collaborations that span a range of genres, Watanabe explores modes and possibilities of contemporary craftsmanship.
