New Delhi: Siemens Limited signed an agreement on Friday to acquire the EV division of Mumbai-based Mass-Tech Controls Private Limited. The division is engaged in design, engineering and manufacturing of a wide range of AC chargers, and 30 to 300kW capacity DC chargers for various end applications for EVs.
The purchase consideration is INR 38 crore on a cash free and debt free basis and subject to other adjustments that are mutually agreed between the parties to the transaction.

Post the acquisition, the EV division of Mass-Tech Controls will be fully integrated into the e-Mobility Business Unit of the Smart Infrastructure Business, Siemens Limited.
