PRESS RELEASE
IIFL Finance to Raise ₹6,414 Crores ($686 million) in One of the Largest Primary Private Equity
Infusions in a Listed Indian NBFC, Led by Blackstone and the Promoters
Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager, to infuse ₹5,000 crores ($535 million) of
primary equity for approximately 16% fully diluted stake, a sign of the scale and significance of the
partnership
Mr. Nirmal Jain and Mr. R. Venkataraman continue as Co-promoters and invest ₹1,264 crores ($135
million) alongside Blackstone through warrants
The entire investment will be infused as primary capital. This will raise the capital adequacy ratio
from ~17% to ~30% (proforma Sept-26), support the next phase of growth across its secured lending
businesses, and could improve its credit ratings and lower its borrowing costs over time.
The promoters’ meaningful investment alongside Blackstone demonstrates continued conviction
and strong shareholder alignment
Mumbai, November 10, 2026: The Board of Directors of IIFL Finance Limited (‘IIFL Finance’ or the
‘Company’), one of India’s leading retail-focused non-banking financial companies, at its meeting held on
November 10, 2026, approved a primary capital raise of ₹6,414 crores ($686 million) by way of a preferential
issue. Funds managed by Blackstone Private Equity will invest ₹5,000 crores ($535 million) through a
preferential allotment of compulsorily convertible preference shares (‘CCPS’). The CCPS will convert into
equity shares at ₹602 per share (in line with the regulatory price) within 18 months of allotment.
Concurrently, the Company’s promoters, Mr. Nirmal Jain and Mr. R. Venkataraman, will invest ₹1,264
crores ($135 million) through a preferential allotment of warrants. Anchorage Capital will participate in the
transaction through a ₹150 crores ($16 million) primary equity investment. The Company and its promoters
have entered into definitive agreements with Blackstone and Anchorage Capital in this regard.
The funds from this transaction will strengthen the Company’s capital adequacy, improve its cost of funds,
accelerate growth in its gold finance business (a secured retail lending segment benefiting from India’s
growing consumer credit market), and support its ambition to become one of India’s largest diversified retail
NBFCs.
The Company expects to benefit from Blackstone’s global scale, network and operational expertise,
including in technology, data, and AI. This would help it scale its secured lending businesses, attract and
retain high-quality talent, and strengthen its overall franchise. The proposed appointment of Blackstone
representatives to the Board is expected to further strengthen governance standards and oversight, while
preserving the Company’s entrepreneurial culture and focus on execution.
The proposed transaction is subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Mr. Nirmal Jain, Founder and Managing Director, IIFL Finance, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Blackstone as a partner in IIFL Finance. Their investment is a strong
endorsement of the franchise our team has built, and of the opportunity to bring formal, secured credit to
millions of underserved households and small businesses across India. Venkat and I are investing ₹1,264
crores alongside Blackstone, which reflects our own conviction in the Company’s next phase of growth.
This partnership is about more than capital. Blackstone brings deep experience in building market-leading
businesses in India, strong governance discipline, and a global perspective. The investment strengthens our
balance sheet and gives us the headroom to scale our franchises, invest further in technology, and deepen
our co-lending partnerships with banks, while staying disciplined on risk and capital.”
Mr. Mukesh Mehta, Chief Investment Officer for India Private Equity and Senior Managing
Director, Blackstone, said:
“We are pleased to invest in IIFL Finance, a leading retail lending platform in India with a strong franchise
and commitment to serving underserved customers. Building great businesses has been central to our
approach over more than two decades of investing in India, and we look forward to partnering with Nirmal,
Venkat and the management team to support IIFL Finance’s continued growth.”
Trilegal is acting as legal counsel to the Company, and Khaitan & Co. are acting as legal counsel to
Blackstone.
