Saregama India Ltd has agreed to buy full ownership of BPPL’s music rights and simultaneously invest Rs 3.25 billion to subscribe to 9,960 CCPS in BPPL. The transaction boosts Saregama’s catalogue depth, strengthens its position in film and non-film music, and aligns with its strategy of scaling high‑margin IP-led businesses.
Saregama India Ltd, one of India’s oldest and most valuable music labels, is set to significantly expand its intellectual property portfolio through a deal to acquire 100% ownership of BPPL’s music rights. The acquisition folds BPPL’s catalogue and future monetisation potential into Saregama’s fast-scaling music ecosystem across streaming, television, films and social platforms.
Alongside the rights purchase, Saregama will subscribe to 9,960 CCPS of BPPL for a total consideration of Rs 3.25 billion, giving it a sizable economic and strategic interest in the company. The investment structure supports BPPL’s growth while giving Saregama upside from future performance once the preference shares convert into equity. Investors will watch how the enlarged catalogue translates into streaming revenues, sync deals and brand partnerships over the next few years.
