HDFC is a housing finance company. Which provides loans for the purchase of other properties including houses and shops. On the other hand, HDFC Bank does all the work related to the bank like all types of loans, account opening or FD, etc.
Why did this merger happen?
The need for this merger was already felt amidst increasing competition from state-run banks and new-age fintech companies. The management has bet that the merged entity will have a huge balance sheet, which will increase its competitiveness in the market.
This merger could be more profitable for HDFC Ltd as its business is less profitable. From the perspective of HDFC Bank, with this merger, it will be able to strengthen its loan portfolio. It will be able to offer its products to more people.
What effect will this have on shareholders?
Under the merger of HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank, for every 25 shares of HDFC Limited, 42 shares of HDFC Bank will be given. That is, if you have 10 shares of HDFC Limited, then you will get 17 shares under the merger.
this equals merger
HDFC Ltd Chairman Deepak Parekh said that this is a merger of equals. We believe that due to the implementation of RERA, the infrastructure status of the housing sector, and government initiatives on affordable housing, among other things, there will be a big boost in the housing finance business.
Deepak Parekh further said that in the last few years many regulations of banks and NBFCs have been improved. This created the possibility of a merger. This allowed the large balance sheet to arrange large infrastructure loans. At the same time, the credit growth of the economy increased. Affordable housing got a boost and all priority sectors including agriculture were given more credit than before.
