Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Samvardhana Motherson Innovative Solutions Limited (SMISL), has completed the sale of its entire shareholding in AES (India) Engineering Limited. The transaction, involving a 26% equity stake, was finalized on September 24, 2026.
The buyer is T-NET JAPAN Co., Ltd. (T-NET), the joint venture partner in AES India. SMISL held the 26% equity through itself and its nominees. Consequently, the effective capital holding of Samvardhana Motherson International in AES India has been reduced to zero following this divestment.
Transaction Details
The Board of Directors of AES India approved the transfer of shares from SMISL and its nominees to T-NET and its nominees during a meeting held on September 24, 2026. The completion of the transaction was contingent upon the fulfillment of all conditions precedent, which were met by the closing date.
This disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30(7) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company had initially informed the stock exchanges of its intent to sell the stake via a letter dated August 10, 2026.
Business Context
AES India operates as a Joint Venture between SMISL and T-NET. The company provides Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services for various industries, including:
- Automotive
- Rails
- Agriculture & Construction Equipment
- White Goods
- General Manufacturing
T-NET, the acquiring entity, specializes in support services for social infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and tunnels. Additionally, T-NET engages in production facility-related businesses for automotive, plant engineering, and industrial machinery sectors, utilizing mechanical equipment, material handling systems, and IT systems.
Strategic Implications
The exit from AES India marks a consolidation of Samvardhana Motherson's portfolio by divesting from a minority stake in an EPC-focused joint venture. With T-NET now holding full control of AES India, the operational synergy with T-NET's core infrastructure and industrial machinery expertise may strengthen the JV's market position in EPC services.
