It shall be termed as Deemed Public company. Please refer proviso of Section 2(71) of Companies Act, 2013. This provision is not repealed in new act.

hey sorry its 43A .,That mentions of a deemed public company., for all holdings of a body corporate or a corporation in a private company or for all holdings of a public company more than 25% in a private company.
The deemed status continues even if the member are below 7 for such public company,.such provision is not there in the new act

Thank you for your replies, but to make u understand the situation, let me take a live example. there are three companies now, say GMR holdings private ltd which holds GMR infrastructure ltd and GMR energy ltd. The GMR holdings is a private company and it s not a subsidiary of any other company, it solely holds the two infra and energy ltd's, which r public companies, (we can check the company status in MCA21 master data) and even the 43A says """that where not less than twenty- five per cent. of the paid- up share capital of a private company having a share capital, is held by one or more bodies cor- porate, the private company shall be deemed public""" but in above case GMR holdings is a private Co. and even the two GMR infra & GMR energy doesn't have any shares in GMR holdings to apply 43A.
and 2(71) just defines the definition of public company, but not Certain elaborate cases where the Private Co. can be deemed to be a Public Co. Can you plz provide any further information.

If holding company is private limited company who is holding shares of public companies, then such private limited company will remain private limited company.
I guess, your original query was confusing. I hope this clarifies now.
