Non-bank lender SMFG India Credit on Friday announced that its Japanese parent has invested another Rs 1,075 crore to help it expand in the country.
The investment has been done by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group in the wholly owned subsidiary through a rights issue, the company said in a statement.
This should be seen as a reinforcement of the group's long-term commitment to the Indian market, the statement said.
In FY25, the parent had invested a record Rs 4,300 crore in two tranches. Apart from the investment in the NBFC, the group has also invested USD 2.7 billion for a nearly 25 per cent stake to emerge as the biggest shareholder in private YES Bank.
