Bharat Forge has announced that its step-down subsidiary, JS Auto Cast Foundry India, has completed a transaction with PI Opportunities Fund I Scheme II, issuing one equity share and over 14.25 lakh compulsorily convertible preference shares for a total consideration of about Rs 300 crore. The deal gives the investor a 23% fully diluted stake in JS Auto and changes JS Auto’s status from a step-down wholly owned subsidiary to a step-down subsidiary, signaling a strategic capital infusion and partial dilution to support growth in its industrial foundry operations.
