“The proposed transaction would be subject to receipt of necessary approvals, including the approval of the board of directors of the company at the appropriate stage, and necessary disclosures will be made by the company at the relevant time,” it further said. Earlier this month, Piramal Enterprises had sold its entire 10 per cent stake in Shriram Transport Finance for ₹2,300 crore.
