Dabur India has received approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), New Delhi Bench, for the amalgamation of Ayurvedic hair-care brand Sesa Care Private Limited with the company. The tribunal sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation at a hearing held on September 24, 2026, clearing the way for the integration of Sesa Care into Dabur India, subject to the completion of statutory filings and other formalities. Dabur said the merger will add a premium Ayurvedic brand with strong brand equity to its portfolio and further strengthen its presence in the hair-care category. The company had announced the transaction in October 2024, when it acquired 51% of Sesa Care’s paid-up Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares from existing shareholder True North. The transaction was subsequently structured through the Scheme of Amalgamation between Sesa Care and Dabur India. At the time of the announcement, Dabur described Sesa as the No. 3 brand in India’s Ayurvedic hair-oil category and estimated the category’s market size at around ₹900 crore. The proposed amalgamation had earlier secured approval from Dabur India’s equity shareholders and unsecured creditors at meetings held on May 2, 2026, following directions from the NCLT, along with approvals from the relevant regulatory authorities. The merger marks another step in Dabur’s efforts to consolidate its Ayurvedic and hair-care portfolio.
