In July this year, the promoters of VIP Industries had entered into a share purchase agreement to sell up to 32% stake they own.

Multiples Private Equity Fund IV, Multiples Private Equity Gift Fund IV, Samvibhag Securities Pvt. Ltd., Mithun Sacheti and Siddhartha Sacheti, came together to acquire 32% stake in VIP Industries.

The news had also confirmed a CNBC-TV18 newsbreak from July 10.

Multiples Private Equity Fund had picked up 60 lakh shares for ₹233 crore, while Samvibhag Securities had acquired 22 lakh shares for ₹86 crore. After today's transaction, the promoter family still owns around 20% stake in the company.
