Dabur India, the country's fourth-largest FMCG company, today said it has agreed to acquire over-the-counter energiser brand '30-Plus' from Mumbai-based Ajanta Pharma.
The financial details of the deal were not disclosed by the company, though The Economic Times reported a deal value below Rs50 crore.
