Hyderabad: BS Limited, the city-based builder of power transmission and distributions lines, on Wednesday decided to acquire four companies, which mainly deal in metals for nearly Rs 950 crore. The target companies are Agarwal Steels Structures, Durafast Autom-otive, NHS Metals, and Rajesh Sandhi Infras and Metals. The acquisitions, a statement by BS Limited said, will be undertaken through a slump sale from the respective sellers.
