Bharat Forge subsidiary JS Auto to get ₹300 Crore investment for 23% stake
Bharat Forge's subsidiary JS Auto will receive ₹300 crore from PI Opportunities Fund I Scheme II for a 23% stake. The transaction, expected to close by March 31, 2026, involves equity shares and CCPS. JS Auto's income was ₹697 crore in FY25.
The investment is significant for the subsidiary, contributing to its growth, but its impact on the consolidated financials of Bharat Forge is moderate (4.61% of income).
The investment injects capital into a subsidiary, strengthening its financial position and indicating positive growth prospects.
Bharat Forge Limited (BFL), through its wholly owned subsidiary BF Industrial Solutions Limited (BFISL) and step-down wholly owned subsidiary JS Auto Cast Foundry India Private Limited (JS Auto), has entered into definitive transaction agreements with PI Opportunities Fund I Scheme II on February 2, 2026. Under these agreements, the investor will subscribe to equity shares and Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) in JS Auto, acquiring a 23% stake on a fully diluted basis. This transaction will result in approximately ₹300 crore being invested into JS Auto.
JS Auto contributed ₹697.07 crore in income and had a net worth of ₹231.76 crore as of March 31, 2025, representing 4.61% and 2.51% of BFL's consolidated financials, respectively. The transaction is expected to be completed by March 31, 2026, subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions. PI Opportunities Fund I Scheme II is an Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) managed by PI Investment Advisory LLP, an affiliate of Premji Invest Group, and is not considered a related party to Bharat Forge.
