Chennai: Titan Europe Plc, an international engineering group that designs and manufactures wheels, made an open offer to buy 1.42 million shares, or a 14.38% stake, in Wheels India, a TVS group company, for 102.8 crore, or 725 per share, on Thursday.

The move could make Titan Europe a majority shareholder with a 50.29% stake, as it already owns 3.54 million shares, or a 35.91% stake, in Wheels India.

Wheels India managing director Srivats Ram was unavailable for comment.

“I think this is a precursor for a two or three-stage plan to raise capital. With the board meeting tomorrow where they are set to discuss raising of capital, a clearer picture should emerge," said an investment banker who did not want to be named.

Shares of Wheels India rose 1.36% to 740.10 Thursday on BSE.
