Bajaj Finserv Limited has approved the subscription to convertible warrants of its subsidiary, Bajaj Finance Limited , for an aggregate cash consideration not exceeding ₹5,800 crore. The Board of Directors authorized this preferential allotment during its meeting held on October 1, 2026.
This decision complements Bajaj Finance’s broader capital raising plan, which includes a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) of ₹11,700 crore, bringing the total proposed raise to ₹17,500 crore. The warrant issue is structured to signify promoter support and commitment, aiming to lend confidence to prospective investors rather than addressing immediate capital needs.
Structure of the proposed raise
The QIP involves issuing equity shares with a face value of Re. 1 each to Qualified Institutional Buyers. This issuance will comply with Chapter VI of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
Separately, the preferential issue entails the allotment of warrants convertible into an equivalent number of equity shares. These warrants are proposed to be allotted to Bajaj Finserv Limited, the promoter and holding company of Bajaj Finance. The terms specify that a minimum of 25% of the consideration must be paid upon allotment, with the remaining 75% payable at the time of share conversion.
| Component | Amount | Instrument Type | Allottee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualified Institutions Placement | Up to ₹11,700 crore | Equity Shares | Qualified Institutional Buyers |
| Preferential Issue | Up to ₹5,800 crore | Convertible Warrants | Bajaj Finserv Limited |
Conversion and forfeiture terms
For the preferential issue, the warrants are convertible into equity shares that will be pari-passu with the company's fully paid-up equity shares. If the Proposed Allottee fails to exercise the option for equity shares within eighteen months from the date of warrant allotment, or within any other period permitted under SEBI ICDR Regulations, the consideration amount payable will stand forfeited by the company.
The issue price for the preferential allotment will be determined at a later stage in accordance with applicable laws. The disclosure was made pursuant to Part A Para A of Schedule III read with Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015.
What the numbers show
Bajaj Finserv currently holds 51.30% of the total issued and paid-up equity share capital of Bajaj Finance. The subsidiary has demonstrated robust growth, with turnover rising from ₹46,938.80 crore in FY24 to ₹59,379.74 crore in FY25, and reaching ₹69,850.79 crore in FY26. The promoter's participation through warrants is exempt as a related party transaction under Regulation 2(zc) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, ensuring the process adheres to regulatory frameworks while reinforcing stakeholder confidence.
