Valor Estate has entered a significant merger scheme consolidating Sahyadri Agro and Dairy into its subsidiary Horizontal Ventures Private Limited, aiming to streamline operations and enhance focus on core business. This move marks a strategic step to align and optimize their agro and real estate interests under one roof.

Valor Estate Limited, a key player in the Indian real estate sector, has officially announced the merger scheme involving Sahyadri Agro and Dairy Private Limited, which is a wholly owned subsidiary (WOS) of Horizontal Ventures Private Limited (HVPL), itself a subsidiary of Valor Estate. This strategic decision was sanctioned by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai bench, and came into effect from July 1, 2025.

The merger is structured to amalgamate Sahyadri Agro and Dairy into HVPL, thereby consolidating the agro and dairy business under one step-down subsidiary of Valor Estate. This move is part of Valor Estate’s broader corporate strategy to streamline diverse business operations and sharpen its focus on high-margin core sectors, including real estate development .

Key Highlights:

The merger scheme effectively makes Sahyadri Agro a wholly owned entity of Horizontal Ventures, enhancing operational control and financial integration.
The transaction followed approval by the respective Boards of Directors and was cleared by NCLT order on June 12, 2025.
Valor Estate’s subsidiary, Horizontal Ventures, had acquired the remaining 23.37% stake in Sahyadri Agro earlier in June 2025, consolidating its entire holding.
This consolidation aligns with Valor Estate's strategic focus to divest non-core assets and optimize its portfolio towards high-growth real estate projects.
Operational efficiencies and synergy gains are expected from the merged entity, which supports Valor Estate's long-term growth ambitions in the agro and realty sectors.

The merger not only simplifies the corporate structure but is also expected to unlock value for stakeholders by integrating related agricultural and dairy businesses with Valor Estate’s existing real estate ventures. This integration will help improve corporate governance, cost efficiencies, and create stronger financial backing for future expansion plans.

Investors and market participants are keenly watching the post-merger developments as Valor Estate continues its transformative journey, focusing on sustainable asset growth and operational excellence across its portfolio.
