Sammaan Capital Gets ₹8,850 Crore Boost From IHC, Stock Jumps 17% in a Week

Sammaan Capital Ltd. has entered the spotlight after sealing a massive investment deal with Abu Dhabi-based International Holding Company (IHC). The news sparked a sharp rally in the stock, which has climbed more than 17% in just a week.

A Billion-Dollar Bet on India

Through its unit Avenir Investment RSC Ltd., IHC has committed nearly USD 1 billion (₹8,850 crore) to Sammaan Capital. The funding is provided through a preferential issue of 33 crore equity shares and 39 crore warrants, priced at ₹139 each. Once fully converted, IHC’s stake will stand at 41.2%.

The deal also triggers a mandatory open offer for an additional 26% stake, which means IHC is on track to become the new promoter, with the power to nominate a majority of the board members.

What It Means for Sammaan Capital

With 220 branches across more than 150 cities and over 4,430 employees, Sammaan Capital has already carved out a strong presence in retail finance. This fresh capital is expected to:

• Strengthen its balance sheet and reduce funding costs.
• Drive expansion in affordable housing and mid-market lending
• Accelerate the adoption of AI and digital platforms.
• Improve governance and operational standards.

The management has set a bold target: reaching ₹1 lakh crore in AUM by FY27.

Investor Reaction

The stock recently touched a high of ₹170.20, before cooling to around ₹162. The rally signals strong investor belief that IHC’s backing could transform Sammaan Capital’s growth trajectory. This kind of long-term institutional capital brings both stability and credibility to the business.

Why This Deal Stands Out

This is one of the largest equity infusions ever into an Indian NBFC. At a time when smaller lenders often struggle to raise funds, Sammaan Capital’s ability to attract a global giant like IHC is a big vote of confidence—not just for the company, but also for India’s broader financial services sector.

Bottom Line

The tie-up between Sammaan Capital and IHC is more than just funding—it’s a strategic partnership. With fresh capital, improved governance, and a clearer growth path, Sammaan Capital looks poised to scale up rapidly over the next few years. For investors, this could be one of the most significant stories to track in India’s NBFC space.
