The move is part of a family settlement agreement announced by the Godrej family in early May this year. Godrej Industries closed marginally up around 1.6% at Rs 900.55 on the BSE on Tuesday.
In a statement to the stock exchange, the group said the transaction will be completed through block deals and the 12.65 percent stake is worth Rs 3,858 crore.
