Sammaan Capital Becomes IHC Group Company After ₹5,652 Cr Stake Sale Deal

In a significant development in India’s financial sector, Sammaan Capital has officially become part of the Abu Dhabi-based International Holding Company (IHC) group following a major stake sale transaction. The company received ₹5,652 crore in the first tranche through a preferential allotment of equity shares and warrants, marking one of the largest recent foreign investments in the NBFC space. As part of the deal, IHC—through its affiliate Avenir Investment—will acquire a substantial stake (initially around 41.5%), with further investment planned upon conversion of warrants, potentially increasing overall control. International Holding Company’s entry as promoter brings strong capital backing, global funding access, and institutional expertise, enabling Sammaan Capital to transition from a pure-play mortgage lender into a diversified non-banking financial company offering products such as MSME loans, personal loans, and gold financing. The deal, approved by regulators including RBI and SEBI, represents a strategic shift toward scaling operations, improving financial flexibility, and accelerating growth in India’s competitive lending market.
