May 2013Undisclosed stageBPEA EQT (lead)$256M$1.2BLafarge India Pvt Ltd (LIPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of global building materials leader Lafarge SA, operates in India's cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete sectors, with an established presence as a market leader in ready-mix concrete and annual production capacity of about 8 million tonnes. In May 2013, Baring Private Equity Asia (BPEA, now part of EQT) invested approximately US$256 million (INR 14 billion or €200 million equivalent) via a capital increase, acquiring a 14% minority stake to fund growth plans across product lines. This marked the largest private equity investment in India's cement industry at the time and BPEA's biggest India deal. Lafarge sought a valuation of $150 per tonne of capacity, implying a roughly $1.2 billion enterprise value for its 8 million tonne capacity, positioning it as a mid-cap player amid India's booming cement demand driven by housing and infrastructure. BPEA's entry supported Lafarge's expansion in the world's second-largest cement market after China. The deal required local regulatory clearance. The transaction highlighted opportunities for Asian private equity to partner with global corporations like Lafarge for regional growth.
