Earlier conversation was going on with Blackstone
Earlier, Haldiram’s conversation to sell the company’s stake was going on with the American investment company Blackstone Inc., but the deal could not be finalized. First Blackstone said that the company asked to buy 75 percent stake, but the company was not ready to sell such a huge stake.
Blackstone then talked about finalizing the deal for $ 8 billion to buy a 20 billion stake in Haldiram, but the business costs $ 12 billion. After this, Blackstone started finding this deal expensive, but Haldiram was adamant on a valuation of $ 12 billion.
