Below is the edited transcript of the interview on CNBC-TV18
Q: Can you explain the details of the sale where you sold a 70-percent stake in one of your subsidiaries for Rs 280 crore? What was the reason for the sale? What are you planning to do with the proceeds of the sale?
A: Gujarat Apollo Industries Limited has a subsidiary named Apollo Earthmovers Limited (AEML) which in turn has a subsidiary called Apollo Construction Equipment Limited (ACEL) and is a wholly-owned subsidiary. It is in this subsidiary that Switzerland-based Ammann Group has invested for a 70-percent stake. The remaining 30 percent will be owned by a subsidiary of Gujarat Apollo.
Q: Will this reflect in your profit and loss (P&L) statement?
A: Yes, since this is a minority shareholding in the operating company it will not be reflected in the P&L statement or balance-sheet. It will be as an investment and all the income as dividend will be reflected in the balance-sheet.

Q: By how much does your debt reduce?
A: To start with, we did not have any long-term debt. The Gujarat Apollo board will decide how to deploy the funds in terms of improving the valuation for shareholders and stakeholders.
Q: When does the name of this listed entity change?
A: No, the name of the listed entity doesn't not change.
Q: What will the cash be used for?
A: Gujarat Apollo deals in crushing and screening equipment and the funds will be used to tap opportunities in the mining sector.
Q: In your previous announcement of earnings, revenues stood at Rs 65 crore. By how much will your annual revenues fall due to the sale?
