Bajaj Finance Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on October 1, 2026, approved significant capital-raising proposals.

Additionally, a preferential issue of warrants, convertible into equity shares, for an aggregate amount not exceeding ₹5,800 Crore has also been approved.
The proposed QIP will involve issuing equity shares of face value ₹1 each, in accordance with SEBI's ICDR Regulations and the Companies Act, 2013. The preferential issue will be of warrants convertible into an equivalent number of equity shares, also with a face value of ₹1 each. The preferential allotment is to Bajaj Finserv Limited, the promoter and holding company.
For the preferential issue of warrants, a minimum of 25% of the consideration will be payable on the allotment date, with the remaining 75% payable upon the exercise of options against the warrants. The warrants must be exercised within eighteen months from the allotment date, or any other period permitted by SEBI ICDR Regulations, failing which the consideration amount will be forfeited.
