NEW DELHI: TVS Motor Company has announced its intention to acquire a 4.9 per cent stake in Jana Small Finance Bank Ltd for an investment of ₹193.32 crore. This move is part of a larger strategy by TVS VENU to secure a minority stake in the bank, potentially reaching up to 9.9 per cent on a fully diluted basis.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that the acquisition involves both primary issuance of warrants and a secondary purchase of equity shares. The decision was formalized on Monday when the company’s board of directors approved a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Jana Holdings Ltd for the proposed purchase of 51,60,903 equity shares. These shares constitute 4.90 per cent of Jana Small Finance Bank’s paid-up share capital as of May 18, 2026.
The total cost for this acquisition is pegged at ₹193.32 crore. TVS VENU is described as an institutional platform dedicated to building and scaling enterprises across mobility, financial services, real estate, and lifestyle sectors. The group already has a significant presence in India’s financial services sector through TVS Credit Services, a prominent non-banking financial company that provides consumer and retail loans to millions nationwide.
TVS Motor Company stated that the objective behind this investment is to gain a deeper understanding of the banking ecosystem and to foster mutual collaboration in various areas, ultimately contributing to the long-term success of Jana Small Finance Bank, subject to adherence to applicable laws. The acquisition is expected to be finalized within three months from May 18.
