POCL Enterprises has approved a ₹12.47 crore cash acquisition to purchase a controlling 51% equity stake in Trichy Metals and Alloys. Scheduled for completion by August 30, 2026, the deal expands the company's lead recycling capacity and supports long-term diversification into copper and aluminum.
MUMBAI — Chennai-based specialized manufacturer POCL Enterprises Limited (POEL) announced that its board of directors has formally approved a definitive plan for the acquisition of Trichy Metals and Alloys Private Limited. The board meeting, held on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, concluded with the authorization of an outright majority investment structure through which POCL Enterprises will assume a controlling 51% equity stake in the target company.
The transaction involves a total cash consideration of ₹12.47 crore, enabling the listed parent firm to scale up its aggregate manufacturing footprint across India's booming metal recycling industry.
Transaction Mechanics and Equity Price Parameters
According to official regulatory submissions filed under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the transaction is structured through a combination of secondary and primary market routes. POCL Enterprises will purchase outstanding equity shares directly from the existing shareholders of Trichy Metals and Alloys (TMA), alongside a subsequent primary injection via preferential allotment to subscribe to newly issued equity capital.
The financial terms approved by the board outline that POCL Enterprises will acquire an aggregate of 69,310 equity shares having a nominal face value of ₹10 each. The premium buyout price has been structured at ₹1,799 per share, which incorporates an embedded securities premium component of ₹1,789 per share. The cumulative investment value required to secure the majority stake amounts to exactly ₹12,46,88,690. The company intends to settle the entire transaction volume via direct cash consideration rather than a share-swap framework.
Production Capacities and Scale of Target Entity
Trichy Metals and Alloys, incorporated on February 12, 2019, operates its core manufacturing facilities from Trichy, Tamil Nadu. The private entity specialized in producing refined lead ingots and structural lead alloys, alongside general commercial trading of diverse non-ferrous metals.
The industrial assets bring significant infrastructure capacity to the parent company:
Refining Capacity: The facility possesses an established, functional refining infrastructure capable of handling approximately 26,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA).
Smelting Capacity: The plant houses functional smelting networks outputting approximately 21,500 MTPA.
Revenue Potential: At maximum run-rate optimization, the combined capacities generate an overall localized revenue potential of roughly ₹600 crore annually.
The target firm has exhibited a consistent upward operational trajectory over the last three fiscal years, with its audited revenue jumping from ₹103.97 crore in FY 2023–24 to ₹112.85 crore in FY 2024–25, before climbing to ₹163.74 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The audit records for the most recent fiscal year also logged a positive net profit after tax of ₹3.60 crore.
Strategic Synergies and Non-Ferrous Diversification
The acquisition aligns directly with POCL Enterprises’ long-term corporate vision of increasing resource circularity and gaining a broader market share within the competitive lead recycling space.
Beyond expanding baseline production capacities, the board emphasized that the acquisition secures an asset with an established domestic supply chain and strong brand equity. Furthermore, the target firm is in the advanced stages of securing formal clearance from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF). This regulatory approval will permit the direct import of specialized lead scrap materials, providing localized cost insulation against volatile global primary metal pricing.
The corporate integration also paves the way for further organic diversification into other high-growth non-ferrous commodities, including copper and aluminum recycling.
