Dabur Gets NCLT Approval for Sesa Care Merger
Dabur India, a domestic FMCG leader, announced that it has obtained approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for its merger with the Ayurvedic haircare brand Sesa Care.
The merger will enhance Dabur's current hair care range and explore new growth possibilities, the company noted in a statement.
In October 2024, Dabur obtained a majority ownership in Sesa Care, and a complete merger plan for Sesa Care into Dabur was sanctioned by its board in May 2025.

The approval from the NCLT signifies an important milestone in the deal initially revealed in October 2024 and sets the stage for merging Sesa Care with Dabur India, pending the fulfillment of required statutory filings and other formalities. According to the Companies Act, a merger or amalgamation plan only takes effect once it obtains consent from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Before that, the proposal needs to obtain approvals from the boards of the participating companies, shareholders, creditors, and pertinent regulatory bodies, as applicable. The NCLT's approval is typically the last judicial confirmation that grants legal validity to the scheme and enforces it on all parties involved.
"The integration of Sesa Care is aligned with our long-term strategy of strengthening our portfolio and tapping newer growth opportunities. We will look to leverage Dabur India's extensive distribution network, category expertise and access to key international markets to expand Sesa Care's reach and unlock revenue and cost synergies from the combined business," Global CEO Mohit Malhotra says.
