Roadzen shares rise 10.08% premarket after acquiring VehicleCare for $277M in India subsidiary.

Roadzen Inc. surged 10.08% in premarket trading following the announcement of its strategic acquisition of AI-powered vehicle repair platform VehicleCare at CES 2026. The transaction, valued at $277 million for Roadzen’s India subsidiary, represents a 50% premium to its current public market price and includes no dilution for Nasdaq-listed parent shareholders. The acquisition integrates VehicleCare’s 350+ workshop network in India, expected to contribute $10 million in revenue over 12 months post-closure, while enhancing Roadzen’s claims infrastructure to offer end-to-end repair execution. VehicleCare’s founders and investors will roll equity into Roadzen India, aligning long-term incentives, and the deal is projected to close within two weeks. The move positions Roadzen as a full-stack claims provider, combining digital decisioning with physical repair execution, a differentiator in a fragmented market. Other news, including prior earnings misses or discounted financings, are unrelated to the premarket rally.
