Patanjali Group has expanded its business portfolio beyond Ayurveda and consumer goods by entering the general insurance and renewable energy sectors. The diversification comes after the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) approved the acquisition of Magma General Insurance by Patanjali Ayurved and the Dharampal Satyapal (DS) Group in a deal valued at around Rs. 4500 crore.
Patanjali Entered General Insurance Business
Under the approved transaction, Patanjali Ayurved will acquire a 73.56% stake in Magma General Insurance, while the DS Group will purchase 24.5% from companies belonging to the Adar Poonawalla Group. Following the acquisition, Patanjali will become the insurer’s promoter and is expected to infuse additional capital to strengthen the company’s solvency and support future expansion. Magma General Insurance reported a gross premium income of Rs. 3,615 crore in FY2026 and offers products across motor, health, personal accident, home and commercial insurance segments.
