Dabur Wins NCLT Clearance for Sesa Care Business Merger

What Happened

Consumer goods company Dabur India has received official approval from the National Company Law Tribunal to merge with ayurvedic hair care brand Sesa Care. Dabur bought a majority stake in Sesa Care back in October 2024, and its board approved the full merger plan in May 2025.

Background and Process

The National Company Law Tribunal sanction serves as the final legal step that makes the merger binding on all stakeholders. Before getting this court clearance, the plan went through several stages, including board approvals, regulatory checks, and meetings where Dabur India equity shareholders and unsecured creditors voted in favor of the scheme on May 2, 2026. The company now needs to finish the final statutory filings and official formalities to complete the integration.

Company Strategy

Dabur Global CEO Mohit Malhotra stated that the merger fits the company's long-term plan to strengthen its product lineup and find new areas for growth. Dabur plans to use its large distribution network, market knowledge, and access to international markets to expand Sesa Care's reach while generating cost and revenue benefits from combining the two businesses.
