Piramal Finance is making a significant move by selling its entire 14.72% stake in Shriram Life Insurance Company to Sanlam Emerging Markets (Mauritius) for ₹600 crore, valuing the insurer at around ₹4,000 crore. This deal is part of Piramal's broader plan to exit non-core investments and redeploy capital toward its lending business.
The sale is aligned with Piramal Finance's strategy to monetise residual non-core assets and strengthen its balance sheet. Shriram Life contributed ₹12.68 crore to Piramal Finance's revenue in the year ended March 31, 2025, or 0.12% of total revenue, through dividend income.
The sale will further increase Sanlam's ownership in Shriram Life Insurance Company, one of two insurance joint ventures of the Chennai-based Shriram Group. Sanlam has been steadily increasing its exposure to the Shriram insurance businesses, having acquired additional stakes in both Shriram Life Insurance Company and Shriram General Insurance Company from TPG India Investments II and the Shriram Ownership Trust.
