31 Mar 2027

Axis Bank will infuse ₹1,500 crore into its consumer lending arm, Axis Finance, via a rights issue before 31 Mar 2027. This move follows a pause in the planned stake sale amid regulatory changes by the RBI that allow banks to continue such operations if ring-fenced from core activities.

The investment reflects a strategic shift for Axis Bank, which had previously sought to divest its stake in Axis Finance. This decision may enhance the bank's positioning in the consumer lending sector 📈.
