Aditya Birla Capital shares in focus as Advent exits entire 2% stake worth Rs 16.4 billion

Shares of Aditya Birla Capital are likely to be in focus on Wednesday after U.S.-based private equity investor Advent International’s affiliate Jomei Investments fully exited its holding in the financial services firm through a large block deal.

Exchange data showed that Jomei Investments sold its entire 53.2 million shares, representing a 2% equity stake, at Rs 308 per share, valuing the transaction at Rs 16.39 billion ($186.47 million). The offer price was set at a 1.5% discount to Aditya Birla Capital’s previous close of Rs 312.6 on Tuesday.

Second exit in 2025

In June 2025, the company executed the first tranche of its share sale, comprising 46.8 million shares at Rs 242.65 per share, which was at par with the previous closing price.

The second tranche took place in October 2025, involving 53.2 million shares priced at Rs 308 per share.

The offer price was set at a 1% discount to Aditya Birla Capital’s previous close of Rs 310 on Tuesday.

Stock performance

Aditya Birla Capital’s stock has continued its strong upward trajectory. The shares are up 12% in the past month and have gained nearly 75% so far in 2025, outperforming the broader market.
