Marwadi Chandarana Intermediaries Brokers Private Limited, part of the Marwadi Chandarana Group (MCG), has signed definitive agreements to acquire a 75 per cent stake in TruCap Finance Limited, a non-banking financial company.

MCG, a diversified Indian conglomerate with interests in capital markets, education, and renewable energy, has a combined net worth of approximately Rs 25 billion.

The deal significantly strengthens TruCap’s balance sheet and capital base, positioning the company for sustained growth. Operating across 117 branches in Tier 2 to Tier 4 towns, TruCap plans to enhance its footprint in gold loans, MSME lending, and electric vehicle financing.

Ketan Marwadi and Jitubhai Chandarana, founders of MCG, noted that the acquisition would unlock long-term value for all stakeholders and improve TruCap’s credit profile.

Since launching lending operations in 2018, TruCap has disbursed over Rs 55.5 billion to nearly 446,450 customers.
