At one stroke,the cost of takeovers involving unlisted Indian companies and foreign partners has gone up substantially. The Reserve Bank of India has asked all unlisted companies to shift to a market-based valuation for such share transactions from the existing book value method. The change in valuation method will raise the cost of these deals. From now,any unlisted company offering shares to a foreign company or individual will have to price them according to the comparable market price. The phrase used by RBI here is discounted free cash flow method. The move,which will be radical for the companies in question,has the merit of aligning them with listed companies.
