The transaction is expected to be completed on or around 15 November.
Digilife Technologies has acquired a 51% stake in Brimax AAC Products LLP, a manufacturer of sustainable building materials, for $4.9m (INR336.6m).
Should the acquisition be approved by shareholders, Digilife Tech intends to diversify its business to include the manufacturing, processing, and distribution of construction materials.
These include autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks and panels, reinforcement panels, fly ash bricks, lightweight blocks, ready-mix concrete, and precast products, amongst others.
