Mumbai, Jan 14 (.) Godrej Industries Ltd (GIL) has officially announced that it has incorporated a new subsidiary, called Godrej Investment Ltd, as its financial services arm, which will serve as an umbrella holding company for all group financial operations, including its lending businesses.
The incorporation of Godrej Investment Ltd came after the Godrej Industries Ltd board’s approval on August 13, 2025 and shareholder approval on September 29, 2025. The move is designed to create a cleaner corporate structure, simplify borrowing, facilitate equity partnerships, and potentially pave the way for future demergers of mature businesses.
Incorporation documents related to Godrej Investment Ltd have outlined objectives which include trading in stocks, debt instruments, Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and alternative investment funds.
Godrej Industries Ltd will subscribe to 100 per cent of the shareholding in Godrej Investment Ltd. While Godrej Investment Ltd is a related party transaction by virtue of being a wholly owned subsidiary, the transaction itself is structured as a cash consideration for the share subscription.
The new subsidiary which will operate in the financial services business sector has not yet commenced operations, though it has completed all regulatory disclosures under SEBI’s listing regulations to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
The group’s present lending operations, housed under Godrej Capital Ltd, encompass Godrej Housing Finance Ltd as well as Godrej Finance Ltd, which is a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC). As of March 31, 2025, these businesses managed Assets Under Management (AUM) worth Rs 16,930 crore.
Earlier, Godrej Capital had announced that it plans to close FY26 with assets under management (AUM) at over Rs 25,000 crore.
Godrej Capital’s Managing Director & CEO Manish Shah had stated that between FY27 and FY28, the company plans to nearly double its AUM to Rs 50,000 crore.
