NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) and HCL Technologies Limited (HCLT) reached an agreement for NEC to obtain full control of NEC HCL Systems Technologies (NHST), a joint venture software company. Based on the agreement, NEC will acquire HCLT’s 49% share of NHST. As a result, NHST will become a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC. The subsidiary’s name is scheduled to become NEC Technologies India Limited in April 2013.

NHST was established in October 2005 in order to enhance software developing resources in India. Since then, the company has developed software products for the platform business in partnership with the experience and knowledge of HCLT. The new subsidiary will play a key role in the development and system integration of NEC’s solutions business throughout the emerging India and Asia Pacific markets, as well as Europe and the US.
