The acquisition will give Bharat Forge an entry into the French automotive sector and access to big Sifcor clients such as PSA and Renault, according to the Economic Times newspaper.
The deal size was not reported.
Sources close to the deal said Bharat Forge probably had a preliminary agreement which is mandatory in France, since work councils and other local bodies have to be informed about any corporate deal. “It could take up to 6-7 months for a final agreement to happen,” sources said.
