Gabriel India Board Approves Revised Joint Venture with Inalfa for Sunroof Systems, Retaining Majority Stake
Gabriel India's board approved a revised joint venture with Inalfa for sunroof systems, retaining 65% stake. This follows an earlier rejection and includes new technical, corporate, brand license, and investment agreements.
The decision to revise the joint venture agreement and finalize related operational and licensing agreements for the sunroof systems business (IGSSPL) is a strategic move, establishing a clearer path forward after an initial regulatory setback. This impacts the company's future business structure and revenue potential in this segment. However, the immediate financial impact is not detailed, and the implementation is contingent on future approvals.
The Board approved a revised Joint Venture Agreement and related agreements after the initial proposal was rejected by the government. The new structure ensures Gabriel India retains majority control (65%) in the sunroof systems venture, which is a positive for the company's strategic control. However, the execution remains subject to further requisite corporate and regulatory approvals, introducing an element of uncertainty.
* Gabriel India Limited's Board of Directors, at its meeting held on November 12, 2025, approved the initialisation of a revised Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with Inalfa Roof Systems Group B.V. ('Inalfa') and Inalfa Gabriel Sunroof Systems Private Limited ('IGSSPL'). * The initial JVA, approved on May 9, 2023, proposed a 51% shareholding by Inalfa and 49% by Gabriel India, but was rejected for PN3 approval by the Ministry of Heavy Industries on August 14, 2024. * The revised JVA proposes a shareholding structure of 35% for Inalfa and 65% for Gabriel India, subject to PN3 approval. Gabriel India will retain majority control of IGSSPL and will not make any additional investment at this stage. * The Board also approved the execution and performance of the following agreements: * Amended and restated Technical Collaboration and Alliance Agreement (TCAA) to revise terms for procuring technological support and assistance from Inalfa for IGSSPL's business. * Addendum to the Corporate Service Agreement (CSA) to amend terms for procuring operational and management support services from Gabriel India and Anand Automotive Private Limited (AAPL) for IGSSPL. * Brand License Agreement (BLA) to grant IGSSPL an exclusive license to use Inalfa's trademarks in India. * Investment Agreement (IA) for Inalfa’s proposed acquisition of a 35% minority stake in IGSSPL through subscription to newly issued equity shares. Following this, Gabriel India’s ownership in IGSSPL will reduce from 100% to 65%. * The execution of the revised JVA and the implementation of the revised structure will take effect only after receiving necessary corporate and regulatory approvals.
