Haldiram’s, a major player in India’s snack and convenience food market, is currently in the spotlight due to a potential acquisition deal. A consortium led by Blackstone, along with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and Singapore’s GIC, has shown interest in acquiring a 74-76% stake in Haldiram’s Snacks Food. This acquisition could value the company at $8-8.5 billion (around ₹66,400-70,500 crore). If successful, this would be one of the largest equity buyouts in India

This development follows earlier reports that Haldiram’s might be preparing for an IPO, but the sale talks with international investors like Blackstone suggest a different route could be taken
