Videocon Industries is first to throw its hat into the ring filing an expression of interest document for the former of the two departments because Motorola announces its desire to spin off its handset and broadband business as independent public companies.
DeepikaGlobal tells that there would be a delay in the decision, however, since the acquisition processwas required to be cleared by the regulatory body. Videocon chairman and managing director V. N. Dhoot told reporters of its intents.
“We have submitted the EoI for the Motorola’s handset business, and that will take some time because of regulatory clearance in the United States,” said Dhoot.
