Apollo Micro Systems Share Price in Focus as CCI Clears Way for Premier Explosives Acquisition

Apollo Micro Systems has received clarity on its proposed acquisition of Premier Explosives, with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) deciding that the transaction does not require its approval. The decision allows Apollo to move ahead with the next part of the acquisition process. 

The company is looking to acquire a 41.33% stake in Premier Explosives under a Share Purchase Agreement signed on July 9, 2026. Apollo had approached the CCI in August as a precautionary step.
