When asked about the upcoming Union Budget and whether stimulus measures might be necessary given the current economic climate, Godrej said, “The government has focused on reducing the budget deficit, but I believe the deficit isn’t a significant issue as long as it contributes to economic growth."
On May 1, the group declared that Adi Godrej and Nadir Godrej will get control of all the listed entities in the group, while Jamshyd Godrej and Smita Crishna will take over the unlisted entities comprising Godrej Boyce & its affiliates
The realignment of shareholding within the Godrej Group has now led to Adi Godrej and his younger brother Nadir getting the newly formed Godrej Industries Group. Under this will be housed five listed companies – Godrej Industries, Godrej Properties, Godrej Consumer Products, Godrej Agrovet and Astec Lifesciences. Nadir Godrej will be the Chairperson.
As per the company's filing, the offer, made at the price of Rs 1,069.75 per share, was triggered as the Adi/Nadir family's plan to acquire 20.84 per cent stake in Godrej Industries (GIL).
Uday Kotak, Founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Cyril Shroff, Nimesh Kampani, and Zia Mody, were top advisors to the Godrej family.
The founding family of 127-year-old Godrej Group, which spans from soaps, and home appliances to real estate, has decided to split the conglomerate, with Adi Godrej and his brother Nadir keeping Godrej Industries that has five listed firms, while cousins Jamshyd and Smita getting unlisted Godrej & Boyce and its affiliates as well as a land bank, including prime property in Mumbai. Godrej Enterprises Group, comprising Godrej & Boyce and its affiliates that have a presence across multiple industries spanning aerospace and aviation to defence, furniture and IT software, will be controlled by Jamshyd Godrej as chairperson and managing director. Godrej Industries Group, which includes the listed companies - Godrej Industries, Godrej Consumer Products, Godrej Properties, Godrej Agrovet and Astec Lifesciences, will have Nadir Godrej as chairperson and will be controlled by Adi, Nadir and their immediate families. Pirojsha Godrej, 42, son of Adi Godrej, will succeed Nadir as the chairperson of Godrej Industries Group in August 2026 as its executive vice chairperson.
The group has been split between two branches of the founding family, with Adi Godrej (82) and his brother Nadir (73) on one side and their cousins Jamshyd Godrej (75) and Smita Godrej Crishna (74) on the other, a statement by the group said.
The Godrej family has initiated the process for the formal division of the conglomerate by exiting boards of each other’s companies and will soon divest their stakes. According to reports, Adi and Nadir Godrej will soon divest their stakes in Godrej & Boyce to the other branch. Jamshyd Godrej and his side of the family will transfer interests in Godrej Consumer Products (GCPL) and Godrej Properties to their cousins through a family arrangement.
