Reliance Industries to buy Bharti’s stake in AXA JVs

11 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Reliance Industries (RIL) has reached an understanding on the acquisition by RIL and its associate Reliance Industrial Infrastructure (RIIL) of Bharti’s shareholding of 74% in two Joint Venture (JV) Bharti Axa Life Insurance Co and Bharti Axa General insurance Co. This transaction is subject to negotiations with AXA and approvals from India's insurance regulator.

On completion of the proposed transaction, RIL and RIIL would effectively own 57% and 17% respectively in both insurance companies and would become AXA’s joint venture partners in India. AXA would retain its current 26% shareholding and would continue to manage the day operations of the JVs.

The proposed agreement contemplates an opinion by which AXA would acquire from RIL and RIIL up to 24% shareholding in both the insurance companies in accordance with the applicable regulations as and when the FDI regulations permit such holding by AXA. Upon exercise of such option, RIL will effectively own 45%; RIIL will own 5% and AXA the balance 50% in both the insurance companies.

RIL and AXA will join forces to create market leading Life and General Insurance businesses in India by leveraging their respective strengths and expertise.
