CAMS Subsidiary Acquires NSE KRA Business for ₹700 Lakh to Expand Investor Record Base

Computer Age Management Services Ltd (CAMS) has announced a major expansion step through its wholly owned subsidiary, CAMS Investor Services Private Limited (CAMSKRA), which will acquire the KYC Registration Agency (KRA) business of NSE Data & Analytics Limited (NSEDAL). The deal was approved at CAMSKRA’s board meeting held on 29 July 2025. This ₹700 lakh transaction is set to grow CAMSKRA’s investor data footprint while enhancing future revenues.

Acquisition Terms and Digital Scale-up

The KRA business will be transferred under a slump sale structure, as a going concern. CAMSKRA will take over NSEDAL’s 13 lakh investor KYC records along with the entire business operations and workforce involved. No shares are being issued or exchanged, and there is no promoter or related party link between the 2 firms.

CAMSKRA is already the second-largest licensed KRA and brings over a decade of experience. It offers a tech-first approach through its AI-integrated onboarding platform, featuring facial recognition, document reading, liveliness detection, OVD checks, and a unique Video Interaction App that can be deployed across mobile or web platforms.

NSEDAL Financial Performance 

NSEDAL’s KRA business, which began operations on 6 March 2012 and is solely based in India, posted a turnover of ₹276 lakh with a loss of ₹259 lakh in FY25. The previous years saw ₹194 lakh turnover with ₹150 lakh loss in FY24 and ₹144 lakh turnover with ₹35 lakh profit in FY23. Despite recent losses, the scale of investor records presents long-term strategic value.

The business transfer is expected to be completed within 180 days from the agreement date, with flexibility for mutual extension. CAMSKRA’s team will absorb the NSEDAL employees currently working in the KRA unit to ensure continuity and efficiency post-acquisition.
