The plant-based acquisitions are expected to rise due to the CCI’s de minimis exemption, allowing larger companies to acquire assets more easily. Additionally, succession issues offer promoters another reason to exit non-stressed businesses.
Nomura’s top buy recommendations include Shree Cement, Ultratech, Ramco Cements, and Nuvoco.
