PPAP Automotive Divests 50% Stake in JV for ₹100 Crore
PPAP Automotive divested its 50% stake in PPAP Tokai India Rubber Private Limited to Tokai Kogyo for ₹100 crore. The company invested ₹48.5 crore in the JV. Proceeds will reduce debt and fund capex. The EPDM rubber sealing system business will shift to Chennai from April 2026.
The divestment of a joint venture stake for a significant amount of ₹100 crore and the reallocation of proceeds towards debt reduction and capital expenditure will have a notable impact on the company's financial structure and future growth plans.
The divestment is viewed positively as it allows the company to reduce debt and fund strategic capital expenditure, leading to sustainable growth, according to the Chairman & Managing Director.
PPAP Automotive Limited has divested its entire 50% equity stake in PPAP Tokai India Rubber Private Limited (PTI) to its joint venture partner, Tokai Kogyo Co. Ltd., for a cash consideration of ₹100 crore. This transaction, effective from January 1, 2026, and concluded on February 13, 2026, means PPAP will have no further obligations towards PTI.
The company had initially invested ₹48.5 crore in the joint venture, which was incorporated in 2012 for manufacturing EPDM Rubber components and TPV Glass Run Channels. The proceeds from this divestment are earmarked for reducing net debt and funding planned strategic capital expenditure.
Following this exit, PPAP Automotive plans to undertake the EPDM rubber sealing system business at its Chennai facility starting from April 2026. Mr. Ajay Kumar Jain, Chairman & Managing Director of PPAP Automotive Limited, stated that the divestment will be beneficial by enabling debt reduction and facilitating new investments for sustainable growth, noting that the joint venture had not proven fruitful over the years.
