Bajaj Finserv has successfully completed its acquisition of Allianz SE's 23% equity stake in its insurance subsidiaries on January 8, marking the end of a 24-year joint venture partnership. The ₹21,390-crore transaction represents the largest-ever deal in the Indian insurance sector and provides the Mumbai-based conglomerate with near-complete control over its insurance operations.

Transaction Completion and Strategic Impact

The acquisition was executed through coordinated purchases by three Bajaj Group entities, with the transaction officially completed on January 8. Following this completion, all joint venture agreements between Bajaj Finserv and Allianz SE have been terminated with immediate effect.

Enhanced Ownership Structure

The transaction has elevated the Bajaj Group's ownership in both insurance companies from 74% to 97%, with Bajaj Finserv maintaining a controlling 75.01% stake in each entity. The acquisition was structured across multiple group entities to optimize ownership distribution and operational control.

Leadership Vision and Market Positioning

Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman and Managing Director of Bajaj Finserv, described the transaction as "transformative," emphasizing its strategic value for future growth. "This provides us greater strategic flexibility to expand markets, introduce new products and scale operations as insurance penetration in India rises over the coming decades," he stated.

The acquisition aligns with the government's vision of 'insurance for all' that is made in India, made for India and made by India, according to Bajaj's statement.

Regulatory Efficiency and Future Plans

S Sreenivasan, President of Insurance & Special Projects at Bajaj Finserv, highlighted the efficiency of the regulatory approval process. Approvals from CCI and IRDAI for the acquisition were received in just four months, demonstrating India's ease of doing business for investors.

Allianz SE retains a residual 3% equity stake in each insurance company. The boards of both Bajaj General Insurance and Bajaj Life Insurance have approved a buyback proposal to acquire this remaining stake at the same transaction price, subject to regulatory approvals. The buyback is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026.

Market Impact and Business Continuity

The acquisition follows the October rebranding of the insurance businesses as Bajaj General Insurance and Bajaj Life Insurance, marking the transition toward full Indian ownership. The company confirmed that the transaction has no impact on policyholders or ongoing operations of the insurance companies.

Bajaj Finserv shares closed 1.32% lower at ₹2,005.00 ahead of the announcement, with the stock declining 2.63% over the past month. The company remains among India's largest financial services groups, with businesses spanning lending, insurance, asset management, payments and securities brokerage.
