Pune: Bharat Forge Limited has announced a fresh investment of ₹1,100.45 million, equivalent to €10 million, in its wholly owned German subsidiary Bharat Forge Global Holding GmbH, reinforcing its overseas investment platform and long-term global strategy. The decision was disclosed on January 30, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements, and the transaction is expected to be completed by January 31, 2026.
The investment will be made through a contribution to the capital reserve of Bharat Forge Global Holding GmbH, with the consideration entirely in cash. Despite the infusion, Bharat Forge will continue to retain full ownership and control, maintaining its 100 percent equity stake in the German entity.
Incorporated on December 15, 2003, and headquartered in Germany, Bharat Forge Global Holding GmbH acts as the holding company for the group’s overseas investments. It oversees manufacturing subsidiaries across key European markets, including Germany, Sweden and France, and plays a central role in managing Bharat Forge’s international operations and supply chain footprint.
The German subsidiary has reported steady operational performance over the past few years. For the period from January to December 2024, it recorded a turnover of €6.50 million, compared with €5.11 million in 2023 and €6.28 million in 2022, reflecting stable business activity amid a challenging global manufacturing environment.
According to the regulatory filing, the transaction qualifies as a related party transaction and has been undertaken on an arm’s length basis. The company noted that all necessary regulatory and governmental approvals have already been secured. Senior Bharat Forge executives, including Amit Kalyani, Subodh Tandale and Dipak Mane, are members of the advisory board of Bharat Forge Global Holding GmbH, while the company clarified that no other promoter or group entities have an interest in the investment.
Bharat Forge said the capital infusion is aimed at supporting the operations of its overseas holding company and strengthening its ability to manage and expand international businesses. The move follows earlier disclosures made in November 2022 and August 2024 regarding investments and guarantees for foreign subsidiaries, underlining a consistent and planned approach to overseas capital deployment.
With this investment, the Pune-based forging major has reiterated its confidence in its European operations and signalled its intent to deepen its global footprint, aligning its international businesses with evolving market demand and long-term growth objectives.
