The company announced on Monday that its promoter, Bajaj Finance Ltd., would be selling up to 2% of its stake in the company.
The same would be via open market transactions to comply with the minimum public shareholding requirements.
At the end of the September quarter, Bajaj Finance held 88.7% stake in the housing finance firm.
The proposed sale, capped at 166.6 million shares, will occur in one or more tranches between December 2, 2025 and February 28, 2026, it said.
Sources have told CNBC-TV18 that the deal size is likely to be worth $176 million with a base price of ₹95 per share. This is a discount of 9.6% in comparison to Monday’s closing price for Bajaj Housing Finance.
Bajaj Finance will have a lock-up of 60 days for the sale of further shares in the company.
Undertakings from the promoters — Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv — confirm they would not purchase shares on days when the sale is executed, as mandated by he master circular of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Shares of Bajaj Housing Finance were down 9.01% at ₹95.08 apiece on Tuesday.
