Motherson stock (ISIN INE775A01035) traded at INR 163.37 on the NSE at 12:44 p.m. IST on September 22, 2026, up 0.28 percent from the previous close, as reported by Business Standard. The company also announced a 50.1 percent acquisition of Rotary Connectors at an enterprise value of INR 5.004 billion, giving the aerospace and defence business a new operating asset.

Defence deal sets the direction

According to ET Now on September 22, 2026, Motherson subsidiary SMAST agreed to acquire 50.1 percent of Rotary Connectors for INR 5.004 billion. The transaction is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027, according to Arete Securities on September 22, 2026.

Rotary Connectors manufactures military-grade circular connectors and interconnection solutions, according to the September 22, 2026 market briefing. Its reported fiscal year 2026 revenue was INR 1.235 billion, making the acquisition value approximately 4.05 times that sales figure. That comparison puts the deal size in perspective while the strategic rationale rests on expanding Motherson's aerospace and defence connectivity offering.

Stock remains below yearly peak

Business Standard reported a price of INR 163.37 on the NSE at 12:44 p.m. IST on September 22, 2026, alongside volume of 4.33 million shares against a one-month daily average of 11.028 million shares. The session gain came with volume below that average, so the price reaction did not yet show unusually heavy participation.

A separate September 22, 2026 market snapshot placed the stock at INR 162.30, down 1.28 percent from INR 164.40, with a 52-week range of INR 101.05 to INR 173.25. The differing intraday snapshots underline the importance of matching the quoted time and venue when comparing the share price. The NSE listing is the reference market for this article.

Revenue data adds an operating anchor

The acquired company's fiscal year 2026 revenue of INR 1.235 billion is the clearest operating figure attached to the transaction. Motherson's broader reported operating context is also visible through Motherson Sumi Wiring's first-quarter revenue of INR 34 billion and net profit of INR 1.45 billion, figures published on September 22, 2026 by Sahi Markets.

For Motherson, the key test is whether the new aerospace and defence exposure can grow faster than the purchase price implies. The transaction adds a 50.1 percent controlling stake, while completion is targeted for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027; those dates make execution and integration the next measurable checkpoints.
