Polyplex expands into the digital printing segment with a 51% stake in TechNova Printrite

On March 27, 2026, Polyplex Corporation's share prices closed at Rs 778.20, facing a decline of 3.91 per cent despite the announcement of a strategic acquisition. Overall, the broader market sentiment was negative, with the Nifty 50 declining 2.09 per cent and the Sensex falling 2.25 per cent.

Strategic Acquisition of TechNova Printrite
Polyplex Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 51 per cent majority stake in TechNova Printrite Products Private Limited for a cash consideration of Rs 62.11 crore. This transaction, based on an enterprise value of Rs 127.21 crore, marks a significant shift for Polyplex into the high-growth Digital Print Media (DPM) sector.

TechNova Printrite specialises in manufacturing polyester, paper, and textile-based substrates for digital printing. The business recorded a turnover of Rs 206.38 crore in FY25, highlighting its established market presence. Polyplex intends to merge TechNova’s expertise with its existing "Saraprint" division to achieve manufacturing and marketing synergies. By securing a controlling interest, Polyplex will nominate three directors, including the Chairman, and has secured "put and call" options to potentially acquire the remaining 49 per cent stake between the third and fifth years of the deal.

This move is designed to reduce Reliance on the cyclical packaging film market by expanding into value-added, niche segments. While the acquisition is funded through internal accruals, the stock's negative reaction today suggests investors remain focused on broader industry headwinds and recent margin compression in the core film business.
