Aditya Birla Capital Limited (ABCL) has invested ~₹300 crore in its wholly owned subsidiary, Aditya Birla Housing Finance Limited (ABHFL). This investment was made on a rights basis. Despite this investment, ABCL’s shareholding percentage in ABHFL remains unchanged at 100%.

Nature and Purpose of Investment

Since ABHFL is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABCL, this transaction qualifies as a related party transaction. However, it has been carried out at arm’s length, ensuring fairness and compliance with regulations. The investment aims to support ABHFL’s growth and enhance its leverage ratio, which is essential for maintaining financial stability.

Financial and Transaction Details

The investment was made entirely in cash. ABHFL issued new equity shares, which ABCL purchased, adding ~₹300 crore to ABHFL’s capital. The allotment of these shares was completed on March 10, 2025.

Understanding the Rights Basis Investment

A rights issue is a way for a company to raise capital by offering additional shares to its existing shareholders rather than seeking outside investors. In this case, ABCL, as the sole shareholder, exercised its right to buy more shares in ABHFL, ensuring the subsidiary received the required funds for growth without diluting ownership.
