Cartrade–cardekho acquisition faces funding hurdles as reserves fall short of expected purchase price.

CarTrade’s bid to acquire CarDekho’s automotive classifieds business—one of the largest consolidation attempts in India’s pre-owned vehicle market—may stall due to funding challenges. Despite the merged entity commanding access to 300M+ users and nearly 80% of auto classifieds traffic, CarTrade’s ?1,080-crore reserves fall far short of the deal value, making equity dilution or debt financing increasingly unavoidable.
