Bajaj Holdings & Investment, along with its associate Bajaj Finserv and promoter group entity Jamnalal Sons, has acquired Allianz SE's stake in Bajaj General Insurance and Bajaj Life Insurance, collectively taking their holding to 97% in each company. Bajaj Holdings bought 17.56% in each insurer at ₹4,808.24 per share for Bajaj General and ₹2,654.12 per share for Bajaj Life, while Bajaj Finserv took 1.01% and Jamnalal Sons took 4.43% at the same prices. This follows the company's March 2025 letter expressing intent to buy up to 19.95% from Allianz SE, effectively unwinding the long-standing joint venture. The remaining 3% stake held by Allianz will be acquired either through a buyback approved by the insurers' boards (at the same price) or via direct purchase, with completion expected by 31 July 2026.
Full consolidation of the insurance businesses within the Bajaj Group is positive for long-term shareholders, as it removes the JV partner and gives Bajaj Holdings direct control over two high-value financial services assets. The large capital outlay is significant but aligned with the group's strategy, and the eventual full ownership should improve earnings contribution from insurance subsidiaries.
