Jaiprakash Associates Limited News

Aditya Birla Group firm UltraTech Sunday announced acquisition of debt-ridden JP Group's cement plants for nearly Rs 17,000 crore (about USD 2.5 billion), making it the biggest deal in the sector.

The Rs 5,400-crore deal between India's largest cement maker Ultratech and Jaiprakash Associates (JAL) to acquire the latter's two cement plants has been called off on account of lack of regulatory approvals.
