Ahmedabad-based Torrent group has won the race to acquire Reliance Capital after making an offer of Rs 8,640 crore for the company in an auction held on Wednesday.

The offer was made by the promoter entities of the Torrent group. According to banking sources, the Hinduja group also participated in the auction with an offer of Rs 8,150 crore but was beaten by Torrent. Cosmea-Piramal and Oaktree did not participate in the race.
