Shriram Finance held a conference call on December 30, 2025, mainly to discuss the proposed 20% strategic investment by Japan's MUFG (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group), valued at approximately US$4.4 billion (~₹40,000 crores) via a preferential allotment. Both boards have approved the deal and an EGM is scheduled for January 14, with RBI and CCI approvals expected within 2-3 months. Management guided that this capital infusion will lower gearing from ~4.3x to ~2.6x initially, with a steady-state target of 4-4.5x debt-to-equity. ROA is expected to improve from 2.8% currently to 3.6% over 5 years, cost of borrowing to fall by ~100 bps over 2-3 years, credit cost to improve by 10-20 bps, and growth to accelerate from 16-17% to 18-20%. CARE has already upgraded the company to AAA, with other agencies expected to follow.
This is a major positive development: a global blue-chip investor brings in fresh capital, improves funding cost, and validates the business model. Shareholders may see short-term ROE dilution (~13.5% next year) but should benefit from stronger growth, better margins, and ROE recovery to current levels by FY31. No further equity dilution or M&A is planned.
