Bharat Forge and step-down subsidiary JS Auto will issue equity shares and CCPS worth around Rs 300 crores to PI Opportunities Fund I Scheme II, an affiliate of Premji Invest Group, giving it 23% stake on fully diluted basis. JS Auto contributed 4.61% of consolidated revenue and 2.51% of net worth to BFL in FY25. Deal expected to close by March 31, 2026, subject to closing conditions. Includes a non-compete on Indian ferrous casting outside JS Auto. No impact on BFL management or control.
Validates JS Auto value with marquee investor; inflows at subsidiary level; non-compete may limit BFL flexibility in Indian ferrous casting.
