The transaction, valued at Rs 4,630 crores for equity and convertible instruments of SHFL, is subject to regulatory approvals and will be acquired through its affiliate Mango Crest Investment Ltd.

SFL holds a majority stake in SHFL, with the remaining shares held by Valiant Partners L.P., a private equity firm based in Mauritius.

“With the rapid growth in the consumer finance sector, both SFL and SHFL foresee tremendous opportunities in their respective operating segments. We believe that at this cusp of growth, Shriram Housing Finance is set to unlock greater value as it empowers underserved millions to own homes,” said Umesh Revankar, Executive Vice-Chairman, Shriram Finance Ltd.

SHFL will operate as a standalone entity after the transaction, with its existing management team, led by Ravi Subramanian, continuing to lead the business.

“This transaction aims to maximise value creation for both SFL and SHFL, as both companies independently fulfill their respective long-term vision. We welcome Warburg Pincus and look forward as SHFL continues to build on its legacy and embrace its next phase of growth,” he added.
