The move is expected to significantly enhance the company’s operational scale and strengthen its core business segments
SIS Ltd, India’s largest integrated business services company, has announced its largest-ever acquisition in the private security sector, embarking on a deal to acquire the APS (A P Securitas) Group for a reported RS 600–650 crore. The strategic acquisition, which is set to consolidate SIS’s position as a dominant market player, will be completed in two phases.
In the first phase, SIS will acquire a 51 per cent majority stake in APS Group for Rs 73.40 crore, with the transaction expected to close by November 1, 2025. The second and final phase will see SIS acquire the remaining 49 per cent stake over the next three years, with the deal’s completion by 2028 contingent on performance-linked milestones.
Following the acquisition, the combined workforce of the two companies will reach an estimated 350,000 employees, solidifying SIS’s standing as one of India’s top five private employers. The move is expected to significantly enhance the company’s operational scale and strengthen its core business segments, which include integrated security, facility management, and cash logistics.
Strategic Move For Market Dominance
The acquisition aligns with SIS’s ambitious “Vision 2030” blueprint, which focuses on aggressive expansion, technological advancement, and maintaining strong financial targets. This development also highlights a growing trend of consolidation within India’s once-fragmented security services market.
Commenting on the acquisition, Dhiraj Singh, CEO of SIS Group Enterprises, shared his enthusiasm on LinkedIn, stating, “It is a delight to announce the arrival of a new member in the SIS Group Enterprises family!” He praised APS Group, a company founded nearly 40 years ago by industry veteran Anil Puri, noting that the combined entity would “shake the market” while APS Group continues to operate independently.
