Detailed Coverage :

U.S.-based private equity firm Advent International, through its affiliate Jomei Investments, has completed the sale of its entire 2% holding in Aditya Birla Capital, a major Indian financial services provider. The transaction involved selling 53.2 million shares at 308 rupees each, generating 16.39 billion rupees (approximately $186.47 million). This sale was conducted at a marginal discount of 1.5% compared to Aditya Birla Capital's previous closing price.

This exit comes after Advent International had already divested a 1.4% stake in the company in June, raising 8.56 billion rupees.

It may lead to some short-term price adjustments as the market absorbs the large block of shares. However, it also signals Advent's successful investment cycle completion.
