Piramal Enterprises today said it will buy a 20 per cent stake in financial-services company Shriram Capital for Rs 2,014 crore.
Shriram Capital is the holding company of Chennai-based Shriram Group, which controls Shriram Transport Finance Co and Shriram City Union Finance.
Piramal had acquired a 9.9 per cent stake in Shriram Transport for Rs 1,636 crore last year.
Shriram Capital's operating units have more than 9 million customers, Mumbai-based Piramal Enterprises, which is controlled by billionaire Ajay Piramal, said in a statement.
