In a regulatory filing, Aditya Birla Capital said that the board had "considered and approved" the amalgamation of Aditya

Morgan Stanley has given an equal-weight call for the stock with a target of Rs 196 per share. According to the brokerage, a tangible economic benefit is not material and may lower the holding company discount that could follow if the NBFC were to list by September 25. RBI approval for this merger will be key, the report added.

Jefferies has given the stock a buy call and raised the target price to Rs 225 per share. According to the brokerage, if approved, the scheme will simplify the corporate structure and will lift the CRAR by 150 bps.
