Mahindra & Mahindra’s shares on thursday fell by up to 6% after the company said it has acquired a 3.53% stake in private sector bank- RBL Bank Ltd and indicated that it may increase the stake by up to 9.9% in the future. This investment was for Rs. 417 crore.
M&M cannot hold more than 10% stake as an investment in RBL Bank as RBI is unlikely to allow any M&M participation in board committees of audit or remuneration. This investment may be some strategic initiative with its group company M&M Financial Services which is an NBFC.
M & M currently holds Rs.14,030 Cr as investments & cash balance in the Balance Sheet, even if it takes this investment to 9.9% of RBL Bank, it will be merely 10% of its cash & Investments. We do not believe this changes our investment thesis. However, we need to be cautious if more such investments are done in the future.
