Shares of Manappuram Finance are expected to remain in focus after the company received final approval from the Reserve Bank of India for the proposed acquisition by affiliates of Bain Capital.
According to the company’s regulatory filing, RBI approval covers the acquisition of up to 41.66% of the paid-up equity capital or convertible instruments through investment agreements signed in March 2025. Bain Capital had committed an investment of approximately ₹4,385 crore as part of the deal.
Under the transaction, Bain Capital will initially acquire an 18% stake via preferential allotment of shares and warrants at ₹236 per share. The acquisition also triggers a mandatory open offer under regulations framed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to acquire up to an additional 26% stake from public shareholders at the same price.
Post completion, Bain Capital will become a promoter entity and jointly control the company with the existing promoters. Board restructuring will follow, including the nomination of Bain Capital representatives.
As of 9:49 AM on February 16, 2026, Manappuram Finance share price traded at ₹301, down 0.55% from the previous close of ₹302.65. The stock opened at ₹303.25 and moved between an intraday high of ₹306 and a low of ₹295.35.
Managing Director and CEO V P Nandakumar stated that the partnership will help accelerate growth in core lending segments, strengthen investments in technology and risk management, and support expansion of the company’s branch network across India.
