Mukesh Ambani's Reliance set to acquire over 50% stake in Disney India, says report

Hindustan Times  

Reliance Industries Limited, led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is set to acquire over 50 percent stake in Disney India in preparation of the mega-merger between the two media entities in a few months, reported Reuters. Ambani's Reliance is expected to pick up around 51-54 percent stake in the company, valuing the US giant's domestic business at $3.5 billion. The deal will strengthen Reliance's hold over India's $28 billion media and entertainment market, especially after a separate $10 billion merger deal between Japan's Sony and India's Zee Entertainment collapsed last week. Meanwhile, the significant dip in the valuation of Disney India is partially because of the fall through of the Zee-Sony merger, which led to Zee Entertainment backing out from a $1.4 billion deal.
