KPIT Tech to Secure £20 Million Loan from SMBC to Finance Recent Acquisitions

KPIT Technologies Limited, a leading automotive software engineering firm, has announced that its wholly owned UK subsidiary will secure a £20 million loan from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) to fund a series of recent international acquisitions. 

The borrowing marks a key step in KPIT’s growth strategy as it expands its presence in the mobility technology and software-defined vehicle space through selective global investments.

Funding Structure and Strategic Purpose

The loan from SMBC will be unsecured, with no corporate guarantee or indemnity from the Indian parent entity. The proceeds are earmarked to support KPIT’s recent acquisitions, including Caresoft, N-Dream AG, and Helm.ai, all of which align with its vision of transforming the future of mobility. 

The company’s UK arm, KPIT Technologies (UK) Limited, will be the direct borrower, using the funds to consolidate these transactions and accelerate integration. The board’s decision, finalised on October 28, 2025, also reflects KPIT’s strategy of balancing internal accruals with external financing to preserve liquidity while pursuing growth opportunities. These strategic moves are designed to enhance KPIT’s technology stack in electric, autonomous, and connected vehicle systems.

Recent Acquisitions and Growth Focus

KPIT recently acquired Caresoft Engineering’s business for up to $157 million, expanded its stake in N-Dream AG to 88.9% for €16.35 million, and invested $10 million in Helm.ai, a California-based AI startup focused on autonomous driving software. 

The acquisitions collectively reinforce KPIT’s core focus on software-defined vehicles (SDVs), AI-driven mobility, and engineering digitalisation. The company has emphasised that its funding model is designed to maintain a healthy cash position while enabling it to repay borrowings ahead of schedule, supported by strong operating cash flows.
