Rane Holdings Limited will invest ₹80.85 crores in its joint venture, ZF LIFETEC Rane Automotive India Private Limited (ZLRAI), by October 31, 2026. The investment, made via rights issue at ₹1,567 per share, will fund ZLRAI's capex and operational needs. RHL will retain a 49% stake in the JV.
The investment is significant for the joint venture's operations and future growth, but it represents a portion of Rane Holdings' overall business.
The company is making a strategic investment to support the growth of its joint venture, which is expected to have positive long-term implications.
Rane Holdings Limited (RHL) announced that its Finance Committee has approved a further investment in its joint venture, ZF LIFETEC Rane Automotive India Private Limited (ZLRAI), with ZF Automotive JV US LLC, USA.
The investment of ₹80.85 crores will be made through a cash consideration via a rights issue. RHL will subscribe to 5,15,954 Equity Shares at an issue price of ₹1,567 per share (₹10 face value and ₹1,557 premium). This investment is intended to fund ZLRAI's capital expenditure and operational expenditure requirements.
ZLRAI, which manufactures airbags and safety seat belt systems, reported a turnover of ₹1,180.55 crores and a net worth of ₹113.74 crores as per audited financial statements for FY 2025-26. The company was incorporated on July 04, 2024. Rane Holdings will maintain its 49% equity shareholding in ZLRAI post-investment.
The acquisition is considered a related party transaction as ZLRAI is a joint venture between ZF Automotive JV US LLC and Rane Holdings Limited. However, the subscription to the rights issue is exempt from being treated as a Related Party Transaction as per SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015, with the issue price determined by independent valuation. The acquisition is expected to be completed on or before October 31, 2026.
