Walchandnagar Industries Ltd (WIL), a heavy engineering group with a diversified presence in key sectors, has made its decision to acquire 60.3% of Aicitta Intelligent Technology for 160 million rupees. The strategic acquisition comes as part of WIL's continuous efforts to enhance its position in key sectors and diversify its portfolio. The takeover of Aicitta, an intelligent technology company, is likely to improve WIL's strength in high-end engineering solutions. This is the second investment made by WIL recently, following its fundraising efforts through a warrant issue that raised a lot of capital for capacity building and infrastructure modernization. The takeover is likely to add to WIL's growth strategy, especially in high-tech manufacturing and engineering services.
