ChrysCapital to invest for $60 mn for 12% in Hathway Cable

Homegrown private equity major ChrysCapital may acquire about 10-12% stake in Rajan Raheja Group-controlled Hathway Cable for $60 mn. If the deal sails through, Raheja’s stake will be reduced to about 62-64%, while Star TV will continue to maintain its 26% holding in the company.

Talks between the two parties are at an advanced stage and the deal is likely to take place shortly. In January, Singapore-based PE fund Temasek Holdings bought 10% stake in Tata Sky, the joint venture between the Tata Group and Star TV, for Rs. 250 crores.

Delhi-based ChrysCapital manages $1 bn across four funds. Its investment portfolio includes Idea Cellular, UTI Bank, Suzlon, Yes Bank, Moser Baer and ING Vysya Bank.
