Future-Reliance deal: Sebi awaits clarification before go-ahead

Markets regulator Sebi has sought some “clarification” from leading stock exchange BSE before giving its go-ahead to the Rs 24,713 crore deal between Future group and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd.

In an update on November 27, the regulator said it is awaiting a reply to the “clarification” sought from the stock exchange on the draft composite scheme of arrangement between Future Group companies and Reliance Group companies.

When contacted, a BSE spokesperson on Thursday said, “in the draft composite scheme of arrangement between Future Group and Reliance Group till date Sebi has not sought any clarification from BSE with regard to the NOC”.

The bourse gave its NOC (No Objection Certificate) for the scheme on November 6.
