MUMBAI: Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, the Japan headquartered global financial major, is buying out Fullerton India, the Indian non-banking financial arm of Singapore-based Fullerton Financial, for about $2.6 billion, or nearly Rs 19,300 crore.
This is the largest Japanese buyout in the Indian financial services space. Moreover, this is the first time that a Japanese firm is getting into general retail lending in India.
Initially, Sumitomo will buy 74.9% in Fullerton India and the balance 25.1% at a later date, a release from the company being acquired said. Although both the companies did not disclose the deal value, sources said Sumitomo will pay $2 billion initially for the nearly 75% stake in Fullerton’s India arm, and the balance once it becomes a fully owned subsidiary.
