Piramal Healthcare up on stake sale report

Mumbai: Piramal Healthcare Ltd shares rose 16.93% to Rs208.90 in Mumbai trading after a newspaper report stated that Sanofi-Aventis has emerged in the lead to buy a substantial stake in the company. “French drug maker Sanofi-Aventis has emerged as the front-runner to buy a substantial stake in Piramal Healthcare at over 50% premium to its current share price," ‘The Economic Times’ said on Thursday.

Sanofi-Aventis has completed due diligence and the deal could be closed soon, the report said, citing unnamed sources. A Sanofi-Aventis spokeswoman told the paper the acquisition reports were unfounded.
