Advent's Strategic Stake Boost in Aditya Birla Housing Finance
Advent International, a private equity powerhouse, is making waves with its planned investment of Rs 2,750 crore for a significant 14.3% stake in Aditya Birla Housing Finance (ABHF), as revealed on Tuesday.
This financial infusion from Advent's entity, Indriya, will occur via a primary issuance of shares, as both boards of ABC and ABHF have already given their stamp of approval, pending regulatory and shareholder nods.
The capital is anticipated to enhance ABHF's foundation, propelling its expansion in India's housing sector, which is experiencing growth due to supportive government policies like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
