Slump-sale acquisition brings ₹164 cr revenue at a modest multiple, diversifying into four states and partially offsetting recent subscriber losses.

What’s new

  • GTPL acquires ACT Group's cable TV operations via slump sale for ₹36.23 cr.
  • Deal adds ~600k subscribers across Andhra, Telangana, Odisha, and Karnataka.
  • Acquisition expected to close by September 15, 2026.

Why it matters

This acquisition makes strategic sense for a micro-cap with declining profitability. At about 4.4% of FY26 revenue, the ₹164 cr revenue base cost only ₹36 cr, a modest outlay. It diversifies GTPL's geography and partly recovers lost subscribers.

What we’re watching

  • Integration costs and subscriber retention post-closing.
  • Whether GTPL can stabilize its own subscriber base.
  • Impact on debt levels (currently low D/E of 0.20).

The full read

GTPL Hathway is buying the cable TV business of seven ACT Group companies for ₹36.23 crore in cash. The deal adds 600,000 subscribers and ₹164 crore in annual revenue across Andhra, Telangana, Odisha, and Karnataka. That revenue is roughly 4.4% of GTPL's FY26 top line. The price is modest. For a company with ₹675 crore market cap and a 42.8x trailing P/E, this is a measured bet — the cash outlay is small relative to the revenue it brings, and the deal isn't related-party. The acquisition diversifies a footprint that has been losing subscribers and suffering from -217% PAT growth. The open question is whether GTPL can retain those subscribers and integrate smoothly. Hardly a sure thing. But if it can, this is a rare growth catalyst for a micro-cap that badly needs one.
