Piramal Enterprises Sets September 23 as Record Date for Merger with Piramal Finance

Piramal Enterprises has confirmed that September 23 will serve as the record date for its long-anticipated merger with Piramal Finance. From this date, trading in PEL securities will cease, and eligible shareholders will be allotted equity shares of PFL on a one-for-one basis.

Piramal Enterprises Share Swap and Listing Plan

Shareholders on record will receive PFL shares in a 1:1 ratio, marking the final stage in Piramal’s transition to a pure financial services entity.

Under the approved share swap arrangement, every shareholder of PEL will receive one share of PFL for each share held. Once allotments are complete, PFL will seek listing approval from stock exchanges, after which its shares will be available for trading. Importantly, the existing debt securities of PFL will continue to trade without any disruption.

The merger officially came into effect on September 16, 2025. Allotments to investors will be processed post the record date, ensuring a smooth transition for shareholders.

Regulatory Drivers Behind the Merger

The consolidation has been guided by the Reserve Bank of India’s scale-based framework. Since PFL is classified as an NBFC–Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC), RBI rules prohibit multiple NBFC-ICCs within the same corporate group. Moreover, as an upper-layer NBFC, PFL is mandated to achieve listing by September 30, 2025.

This merger streamlines Piramal Group’s financial services operations under a single listed entity, fulfilling both regulatory compliance and strategic goals.

Strategic Benefits for Investors

The unified structure is expected to deliver:

• A wider suite of lending and financing products
• Enhanced customer experience and operational efficiency
• Greater visibility and scale in the financial services segment
• Improved compliance alignment and shareholder value creation

This consolidation also marks the completion of Piramal Enterprises’ journey from a diversified business model into a focused, pure play financial services company.
