Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd has announced a strategic move to acquire the entire stake held by Actis Mahi Holdings Singapore in Mahindra Homes Private Limited (MHPL), transitioning the entity from a joint venture into a wholly owned subsidiary. The acquisition, approved by the company’s board on September 17, 2025, is valued at up to Rs 90 crore and is expected to be completed within three months, subject to shareholder approval and execution of the share purchase agreement.
This development marks a significant milestone in Mahindra Lifespace’s long-term strategy to consolidate its residential real estate operations and streamline decision-making across its portfolio. MHPL, incorporated in June 2010, has been instrumental in delivering key residential projects in Bengaluru and Gurgaon.
Key Highlights From The Acquisition Announcement
- Mahindra Lifespace to acquire 25.65 percent stake from Actis Mahi Holdings Singapore
- Transaction value capped at Rs 90 crore
- Post-acquisition, Mahindra Homes becomes a wholly owned subsidiary
- Shares to be acquired include 2,05,628 Series A Equity Shares, 11,043 Series B Equity Shares, and 1 Compulsory Convertible Preference Share
- No regulatory approvals required; transaction classified as a related party deal
- Completion expected within three months
Current Ownership Structure And Transaction Details
Mahindra Lifespace currently holds a 74.35 percent stake in MHPL, with the remaining 25.65 percent owned by Actis Mahi Holdings. The acquisition will involve the purchase of all outstanding shares held by Actis, including equity and preference shares. The deal is structured as an arm’s length transaction and does not require external regulatory clearance.
The acquisition is part of a broader capital restructuring initiative, with MHPL having already passed a special resolution to reduce its issued, subscribed, and paid-up equity share capital. This includes the cancellation of a portion of Series B and Series C shares, streamlining the company’s financial structure ahead of the ownership transition.
Project Portfolio And Operational Footprint
Mahindra Homes has developed notable residential projects, including:
- Windchimes in Bengaluru, a premium housing complex spread across 5.90 acres
- Luminare – Phase 3 in Gurgaon, currently under development
These projects reflect MHPL’s focus on high-quality urban living spaces and its alignment with Mahindra Lifespace’s sustainability-driven development ethos.
Financial Overview
MHPL’s turnover over the past three fiscal years has shown a declining trend:
- FY22–23: Rs 8.81 crore
- FY23–24: Rs 6.56 crore
- FY24–25: Rs 0.00 crore
The subdued financial performance is attributed to project completion cycles and limited new launches. The acquisition is expected to revitalize MHPL’s operational momentum and unlock new growth opportunities.
Strategic Rationale And Future Outlook
The full acquisition of MHPL allows Mahindra Lifespace to:
- Exercise complete control over project planning, execution, and branding
- Simplify governance and reporting structures
- Optimize capital deployment across residential verticals
- Prepare for future launches in high-demand urban corridors
The move also reflects Mahindra Lifespace’s confidence in the long-term potential of India’s residential real estate market, particularly in Tier 1 cities where demand for premium housing continues to rise.
Forward Strategy
Post-acquisition, Mahindra Lifespace is expected to:
- Integrate MHPL’s operations into its core residential business
- Explore redevelopment and new launches in Bengaluru and Gurgaon
- Leverage MHPL’s land bank and project pipeline for expansion
- Enhance shareholder value through operational synergies and cost efficiencies
