Japan’s Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group is set to make a significant investment in India’s Shriram Finance with a commitment exceeding four billion US dollars. The investment involves acquiring a substantial stake in Shriram Finance through a fresh equity issuance subject to approval by the company’s board.
This strategic move represents one of the largest foreign investments in India’s non‑banking financial sector and reflects growing international confidence in the country’s expanding lending and credit markets. Shriram Finance is a leading non‑banking financial company in India with a strong presence in vehicle finance and personal loans across diverse customer segments.
The company’s board is scheduled to review fundraising proposals, including this potential investment, and the transaction is expected to be announced once approvals are secured. Japanese financial institutions have increasingly turned to India for growth opportunities outside their domestic markets as they seek higher returns amid low interest rates at home.
If completed at the reported valuation, the MUFG investment would enhance Shriram Finance’s capital base and signal strong confidence in India’s long‑term financial market prospects. The announcement has already generated optimism among investors and contributed to positive sentiment around the company’s shares.
