Aditya Birla Capital

Aditya Birla Capital Limited (ABCL) has invested Rs 249 crore in its wholly owned subsidiary, Aditya Birla Housing Finance Limited (ABHFL), through a rights issue. This infusion aims to support ABHFL’s growth plans and improve its leverage ratio, while keeping ABCL’s ownership at 100%. 

This latest investment follows a previous infusion of Rs 300 crore into ABHFL, also via a rights issue, underscoring ABCL’s ongoing strategy to strengthen its housing finance arm and support its expansion plans. The additional capital will enable ABHFL to pursue new growth opportunities, expand its lending portfolio, and enhance its ability to serve a wider customer base. The company’s focus on maintaining a robust capital base reflects its intent to remain agile and competitive in a rapidly evolving financial services landscape.

In addition to the capital infusion into ABHFL, ABCL’s board has approved raising to Rs 1,65,000 crore through the issuance of debt securities, including non-convertible debentures, to further support its funding requirements and future growth initiatives. This substantial fundraising plan highlights the company’s proactive approach to capital management and its readiness to seize emerging opportunities in the market.

ABCL’s lending portfolio, encompassing both its non-banking financial company (NBFC) and housing finance operations, expanded by 27 percent year-on-year to reach Rs 1,57,404 crore as of March 31, 2025. Meanwhile, total assets under management across asset management, life insurance, and health insurance businesses increased by 17 percent to Rs 5,11,260 crore. The group’s insurance arms also saw a 22 percent year-on-year rise in total premiums collected, amounting to Rs 25,579 crore in the financial year 2024-25.
