Kotak Mahindra Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary KMCC is selling roughly 31% of its shareholding in associate company Infina Finance for an aggregate consideration of about Rs. 1,294 crore. The stake is being sold in three parts: 9.90% to Derive Trading and Bright Star Investments for Rs. 413.35 crore, 12.10% to the Jhunjhunwala family trusts for Rs. 505.21 crore, and 8.99% to existing shareholder KF Trust for Rs. 375.36 crore. After completion, KMCC's stake in Infina will fall to 19%, and Infina will cease to be an associate of the Bank. The sale is expected to close by March 31, 2026, and Infina is a relatively small piece of the bank, contributing only 0.50% to consolidated income and 1.73% to net worth in FY25.
The deal frees up modest capital for Kotak and trims its portfolio of non-core financial investments, with limited effect on earnings since Infina is a small contributor. The stock reaction is likely to be neutral, though it reflects ongoing portfolio simplification by the bank.
