Deutsche Bank AG’s Hong Kong department, which is the agent for the pledged shares in ACC and Ambuja, made the disclosure in filings to India’s inventory exchanges.

The group in May introduced the acquisition of Holcim’s cement companies in India for $10.5 billion to develop into the nation’s No. 2 cement producer.

After the completion of the deal, Adani mentioned on Saturday that manufacturing capability on the cement items was anticipated to double by 2027.
