History
In FY2005, DHL Express Singapore Pte Ltd. (a 100% subsidiary of Deutsche Post AG, or DP DHL) acquired an 81% stake in BDEL from its erstwhile promoters - Mr. Clyde Cooper, Mr. Tushar Jani, and Mr. Khushroo Dubash, and other shareholders. In November 2012, to meet the SEBI’s requirements for promoter holding in public listed companies, DP DHL reduced its shareholding to 75% through an offer for sale (OFS). [1]
