Pipavav Defence.....

Pipavav Defence.....

http://www.livemint.com/2011/09/12134610/Mazagon-Dock-Pipavav-to-joint.html

. Picked by state-run Mazagon Dock Ltd as its joint venture partner to build warships for the Indian Navy.

. Plans to list company overseas

. Will float an independent company to be named Mazagon Dock Pipavav Ltd (I don't like this until existing shareholders get a stake)

. Company will be executing the current order book of Mazagon Dock worth Rs1 lakh crore (Rs1 trillion) and look for new orders jointly

. Pipavav Defence owns India’s biggest dry dock used for building and repairing ships and has a licence from the government to build warships

. The company proposes to convert an existing wet dock into a second dry dock to enhance its capability to build warships for the Indian Navy and the export market

. Pipavav is currently executing orders worth a combined $1.5 billion, with defence work accounting for some 42% of the total value

Rakesh JhunJhunwala has a stake in this company.
In Pipavav, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and his family holds 10 mn convertible warrants issued at Rs 78 a share

What more does one want? Will you invest?

UPDATE (13th Oct) -
As per

It seems the fate of the JV is unclear.
