Carlyle, TPG eye stake in NIIT

New Delhi-based IT company NIIT Technologies is learned to be in preliminary discussions with private equity players Carlyle and TPG to sell a majority stake. Industry sources said a strategic investor is also believed to be interested in the transaction.

Promoters currently hold 40% stake in NIIT Technologies and sources said they may sell anywhere between 25% and 40% in the company. This would trigger an open offer, where investors can buy an additional 20% in the company.
