The proposed investment is valued at $3.5\u20134 billion (approximately \u20b933,000\u201335,000 crore) and will involve a fresh capital infusion into Shriram Finance. If finalized, this transaction will mark a significant milestone in India\u2019s NBFC landscape, reflecting strong global investor confidence in the group \u2014 especially after Piramal Group\u2019s exit in 2023.<\/p>\n

The deal is expected to give MUFG two board seats in Shriram Finance as nominee directors. Additionally, Parag Sharma, currently the company\u2019s MD and CFO, is likely to succeed YS Chakravarthi, who will retire next month after a long tenure as the top executive.<\/p>\n

Sources also indicate that Subhashri Shriram, MD & CEO of Shriram Capital, which holds a 17.83% stake in Shriram Finance, is likely to join the board as part of the ongoing restructuring.<\/p>\n
