The move consolidates Bajaj’s position in both life and general insurance businesses, strengthening its control, profitability outlook, and long-term strategy in India’s fast-growing financial services sector.
Bajaj Finserv Ltd announced the completion of its landmark acquisition of Allianz SE’s stake in Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance. The deal, valued at ₹213.9 billion, marks one of the largest transactions in India’s insurance sector.
With this acquisition, Bajaj Finserv now holds full ownership of its insurance subsidiaries, enabling greater strategic flexibility, operational synergies, and enhanced shareholder value. Analysts note that the consolidation will allow Bajaj to streamline decision-making, expand product offerings, and capture a larger share of India’s rapidly growing insurance market.
