Tata Capital Strikes Gold: Strategic Acquisition of Yogakshemam Loans Limited Valued at up to ₹318 Crore

Tata Capital Limited has announced its entry into the rapidly growing gold loan segment through the proposed acquisition of a majority stake in Yogakshemam Loans Limited, a Kerala-based Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC). The acquisition marks a significant step in Tata Capital’s strategy to strengthen its retail lending portfolio and expand into secured lending.

Announced on July 13, 2026, the transaction will enable Tata Capital to acquire approximately 88.6% of the issued and paid-up share capital of Yogakshemam Loans on a fully diluted basis, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Strategic Entry into the Gold Loan Market

Gold loans have emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing retail lending segments, driven by increasing demand for quick, secured credit from individuals and small businesses.

By acquiring Yogakshemam Loans, Tata Capital will gain immediate access to an established gold loan business with an existing customer base, experienced management team, and branch network, allowing the company to expand its presence without building operations from the ground up.

The acquisition also supports Tata Capital’s long-term objective of diversifying its lending portfolio and increasing its presence in high-growth financial services segments.

Deal Structure

As part of the transaction:

• Tata Capital will acquire approximately 88.6% of Yogakshemam Loans’ equity on a fully diluted basis.
• The company will invest around ₹93 crore by subscribing to new equity shares.
• The purchase consideration for the existing shareholders will be determined based on the company’s net worth as of September 30, 2026.
• The transaction values Yogakshemam Loans at a pre-money equity valuation of up to ₹318 crore.
• The acquisition will be funded entirely through cash consideration.

The transaction is expected to be completed within eight months, subject to approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other customary regulatory clearances.

Yogakshemam Loans Financial Performance

Yogakshemam Loans has built a strong presence in the gold loan market with healthy financial performance during FY2025-26.

FY2025-26 Highlights

The company’s established operations and profitable business model are expected to complement Tata Capital’s expanding retail lending franchise.

Strengthening Retail Lending Portfolio

The acquisition will allow Tata Capital to broaden its secured lending offerings while leveraging Yogakshemam’s expertise in gold-backed financing.

Gold loans remain one of the most resilient lending categories due to their secured nature and strong demand across urban, semi-urban, and rural markets. The addition of this business is expected to enhance Tata Capital’s product portfolio and support long-term growth in the retail finance segment.

With the proposed acquisition, Tata Capital is taking another strategic step toward expanding its financial services ecosystem and strengthening its position in India’s competitive NBFC sector.
