Alpha Wave Global, IHC seek CCI nod to acquire minority stakes in Haldiram
Alpha Wave Global, and IHC (International Holding Company) have sought the Competition Commission of India's approval to acquire minority stakes in Haldiram Snacks Food. Alpha Wave is a global investment company and United Arab Emirates-based IHC is one of the world's largest investment companies having a USD 250 billion market valuation and listed on Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. "The proposed transaction entails the acquisition of less than 10 per cent of the issued and paid-up equity share capital of the target (Haldiram Snacks Food Pvt Ltd)," said a notice filed with the Competition Commission of India (CCI). The proposed combination, classified as an acquisition of shares and voting rights, falls under specific clauses of the Competition Act, it added. Haldiram Snacks Food is the combined business of the Haldiram family -- Delhi and Nagpur. In its submission to the CCI, Alpha Wave Ventures II LP and Alpha Wave IHC CI, LP (acquirers) said that the exact delineation of the relevant market may be left open as the proposed transaction does not give rise to any competition law concerns, irrespective of the manner in which the markets are defined. However, for the assessment of the proposed transaction the relevant markets may be considered either broadly -- as the market for manufacturing and sale of packaged food products in India -- or more narrowly, segmented into specific categories such as snacks, sweets, ready-to-eat meals, and bakery products, the notice said. Last month, Haldiram Snacks Food, the country's leading snack and food brand, announced that it is selling its stake to two new investors -- IHC and Alpha Wave Global. The announcement came a day after Haldiram confirmed the acquisition of a minority stake by Singapore-based global investment firm Temasek. According to industry sources, IHC and Alpha Wave are collectively acquiring a minority stake of about 6 per cent stake in Haldiram Snacks Food at a valuation of USD 10 billion (around Rs 85,000 crore), which is considered to be the largest for the Indian packaged food industry. Earlier, the National Company Law Tribunal had approved the process of the merger of the two sides and other regulatory approvals are awaited. Established in 1937 as a retail sweets and namkeen shop in Bikaner, Rajasthan, by Ganga Bhishen Agarwal, Haldiram products are sold in over 80 countries. In 2022, it was announced that the packaged snacks businesses of Delhi-based Haldiram Snacks and Nagpur-based Haldiram Foods International would be first demerged and then merged into an entity named Haldiram Snacks Food.

India snacks major Haldirams sells stake to Temasek
India-based Haldiram Snacks Food has agreed to sell a stake in the business to Temasek, the Singapore state-owned investment fund. The terms of the deal, including the size of Temasek's shareholding and how much it has paid, were not disclosed. Approached by Just Food, a Temasek spokesperson referred this publication to a statement issued by PwC, which was an advisor on the deal. Officials in Haldiram Snacks Food, also known as Haldirams, were unavailable to comment. Haldirams is one of India's largest domestic snack-foods businesses. Set up in 1937, the company markets snacks, sweets and other foods. In PwC's statement, the professional-services group said Temasek had struck a deal to buy 'an equity stake from the existing shareholders' of Haldirams. 'This transaction positions Haldirams to continue its ambitious expansion plans both in India and internationally, solidifying its presence in an increasingly competitive market,' the statement read. The statement carried quotes from an unnamed Haldirams spokesperson, which read: 'We are thrilled to welcome Temasek as an investor and partner in Haldirams. We look forward to working with them to harness the value they bring from their experience in the consumer space to accelerate our growth and strengthen our ability to meet evolving consumer demands.' Indian business daily Financial Express said Temasek is acquiring a stake of around 10% in Haldirams for approximately Rs8,600 ($1.01bn). The Temasek spokesperson declined to comment on whether those figures were correct. In the PwC statement, Sanjeev Krishnan, the chairperson of the company's arm in India, said: 'This transaction is not only the largest private equity consumer deal in India, but also a reflection of domestic businesses that continue to elevate India's positioning on the global stage.' In April, the Competition Commission of India backed a move by the Agarwal family, promoters of the Haldiram Group, to demerge and combine the FMCG businesses housed in two separate companies into Haldiram Snacks Food, the entity in which Temasek is investing. Under the planned transaction, the FMCG businesses undertaken by Haldiram Snacks Private Limited and by Haldiram Foods International Private Limited are being placed in Haldiram Snacks Food. The terms of the demerger meant Haldiram Snacks Private Limited would own 56% of Haldiram Snacks Food and Haldiram Foods International Private Limited the other 44%. Meanwhile, another Indian business daily, The Economic Times, said UAE-based fund Alpha Wave had agreed a deal to take a 6% shareholding in Haldirams. Just Food has contacted Alpha Wave and Temasek to comment on that transaction.
