Summary
IIFL Finance shares jumped more than 6 per cent on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, after the non-banking financial company announced a Rs 6,414 crore capital raise through a preferential issue, according to a PTI report. The stock closed up 6.30 per cent at Rs 666.10 on the BSE, after touching an intraday high of Rs 694.65, a gain of 10.85 per cent. On the NSE, the stock ended 6.25 per cent higher at Rs 666.25.
The largest component of the fundraise is a Rs 5,000 crore investment by global investment firm Blackstone Private Equity. The investment will be made through compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS), which will convert into equity shares at Rs 602 apiece, in line with the regulatory price, within 18 months of allotment. The company said it is one of the largest primary private equity infusions in a listed NBFC.
The remainder of the raise includes Rs 1,264 crore from promoters Nirmal Jain and R Venkataraman through preferential allotment of warrants, and Rs 150 crore from Anchorage Capital through a primary equity investment. The company and its promoters have entered into definitive agreements with Blackstone and Anchorage Capital, according to the company's statement. The Board approved the fundraising plan at its meeting on November 10, 2026, and the proposal is subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals, as disclosed in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
IIFL Finance said the capital infusion would raise its capital adequacy ratio from 17 per cent to about 30 per cent. The company expects this to support growth across its secured lending businesses, improve its cost of funds, and accelerate growth in its gold finance business. It also said the raise could improve its credit ratings and lower borrowing costs over time, and supports its ambition to become one of India's largest diversified retail-focused NBFCs.
