Coforge Limited has announced the successful closure of its acquisition of Encora, originally announced in December 2026. Shares have been allotted to Encora sellers on a preferential basis at ₹1815.91 per Coforge share. To finance the acquisition, Coforge has secured a $550 million three-year loan at a 4.6% fixed interest rate, thereby cancelling previous plans for a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP).
The consolidation of Encora's financials into Coforge's will be effective from May 1, 2026, meaning Coforge's FY'27 results will reflect eleven months of Encora's operations. Integration activities are reportedly ahead of schedule, with expected combined cost synergies on General & Administrative (G&A) expenses projected between 20% to 25%. Key Encora leaders have accepted new roles within the integrated organization, including Vijay Verma who will now be a Senior Management Personnel (SMP).
The acquisition is expected to be highly synergistic, with AI-led engineering, data, and cloud services alone projected to deliver US$2 billion in revenue in FY'27. The deal is anticipated to significantly scale Coforge's Hi-Tech and Healthcare verticals, enhance its nearshore delivery capabilities in Latin America (LATAM), and expand its client footprint in the US, particularly in the West and Midwest regions. The combined entity will have forty-five relationships valued at over US$10 million each.
Coforge views this acquisition as a defining moment, positioning the company as a US$2.5 billion firm with a US$2 billion core in AI-led Engineering, Data, and Cloud services. This strategic move is expected to propel Coforge's performance to new heights in FY'27 and beyond, driven by AI-infused growth.
