Bank of Baroda Ties Up With Mizuho for M&A Financing

Shares of Bank of Baroda edged higher on Wednesday, hitting a day high of Rs 273.95 on the NSE after tying up with Mizuho for M&A financing.

The two banks made the announcement in Mumbai on 30 June. Put simply, they have agreed to team up whenever Indian companies need funding for mergers, acquisitions or big cross-border deals.

Here is what that actually means. Bank of Baroda and Mizuho will now jointly originate and structure acquisition finance deals.

They will also share underwriting and syndication duties, which is a fancy way of saying they will split the risk and paperwork of large loans between them.

The partnership does not stop at lending. The two lenders will also work together on select M&A advisory assignments, offer support for currency and interest rate hedging, and provide escrow services for transactions.

There are also plans to train each other’s teams on how such deals are structured. Lalit Tyagi, Executive Director at Bank of Baroda, said the tie-up comes at a time when Indian firms are actively pursuing mergers and acquisitions, driven by infrastructure growth, digital transformation and the shift toward cleaner energy.

Piyush Agarwal, who heads Mizuho’s India operations along with a co-country head, said India remains a key market for the Japanese banking group’s long-term plans.

This is not Mizuho’s first big move in India. The group has had a presence in the country for close to three decades and currently runs five branches along with a unit in GIFT City, Gujarat.

In December 2025, its securities arm agreed to acquire a majority stake in Avendus Capital, a well-known Indian investment bank.

Bank of Baroda, founded way back in 1908, is majority owned by the government and serves customers across 15 countries.

At 10:58 am on Wednesday, the stock was trading at Rs 273.15 on the NSE, up 0.28% for the day.
