Major Deals

Reliance Capital is known to have struck some of the biggest deals in the Indian financial services sector.

In 2011, Reliance Capital sold 26% stake in its life insurance business - Reliance Life Insurance - to Nippon Life Insurance (Nissay), amongst the world's largest life insurer with an AUM of over 600 billion. The transaction was completed at Rs. 3,062 crore for 26 per cent stake, valuing Reliance Life Insurance at $2.6 billion.[33][34]

This was the largest deal in the insurance sector in India. Recently, the government of India has announced 49% foreign holding in Indian insurance firms, up from the 26% holding allowed earlier.[35]

In 2012, Nippon Life Insurance bought 26% stake in Reliance Capital Asset Management for Rs. 1,450 crore, making it the biggest inward stake buy in the mutual fund industry. The deals were lauded in the Indian financial services sector in India by analysts. Value Research, a major financial research firm lauded this strategic stake sale by Reliance Capital to Nippon Life Insurance in two of its businesses.[36][37][38]

Industry players also believe that such high value and credible deals struck by Reliance Capital has helped increase the valuations of the Indian financial services space in the prolonged global economic slowdown and after the Lehman triggered financial crisis.[39]

Reports indicate that Reliance Capital is also planning to sell 26% stake in its general insurance business - Reliance General Insurance - at an appropriate time.[40] India's leading financial daily Economic Times wrote, since Reliance General Insurance is one of the leading players, the proposed stake sale is expected to generate handsome capital gains for Reliance Capital. The de-leveraging of the balance sheet and ongoing restructuring should help Reliance Capital conserve capital and generate better return ratios. A leaner company will also mean that it will be able to grow faster when the business environment turns favourable once again.[41]

After the recent announcement by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to increase investment limit for foreigners in Indian insurance sector to 49%, Espirito Santo said Reliance Capital is going to benefit the most from the decision due to its successful presence in both life and general insurance and ability draw appropriate valuation from foreign partners due to its diversified strength and last mile reach in financial services sector in India.[42]

Reliance Capital in July announced the merger of its global film and media services business with Prime Focus to create an entity with a combined turnover of over Rs 1,800 crore.[43] In the month of july 2017, it sold its 1% share in Paytm to China's Alibaba Group for Rs 275 crore, making a profit of 2,600%.[44]
