Gujarat Energy Ltd holding in GSEG

65.44% of GSEG's equity share capital

A change of category, not a share transaction

The Board of GSPL Transmission Limited, at its meeting on Tuesday, 3rd November, 2026, considered and approved the request of Gujarat State Energy Generation Limited (GSEG) to be reclassified from the 'Promoter' category to the 'Public Shareholder' category, subject to compliance with the requirements of Regulation 31A of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

• GSEG is presently classified as a promoter of GSPL Transmission Limited.
• The Board approved the request subject to compliance with Regulation 31A and necessary approvals.
• The Board was of the view that GSEG satisfies the conditions under Regulation 31A and is eligible for reclassification from the 'Promoter and Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category.

Why GSEG made the request

The Board noted that, under a Scheme of Arrangement, the equity shares of GSEG held by Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited (64.50%) and Gujarat State Petronet Limited (0.94%) were transferred to Gujarat Energy Limited (formerly known as Gujarat Gas Limited). As a result, Gujarat Energy Limited holds 65.44% of the equity share capital of GSEG. The request cites the current complex structure, in which GSEG is a promoter of GTL.

What GSEG has confirmed

• Neither GSEG nor any person related to it, together, hold more than 10% of the total voting rights in GTL.
• They do not exercise control over the affairs of GTL, directly or indirectly.
• They hold no special rights with respect to GTL through formal or informal arrangements, including shareholder agreements.
• They are not represented on the Board of Directors of GTL, including through a nominee director.
• They do not act as Key Managerial Personnel of GTL.
• They are not a 'Wilful Defaulter' as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines and are not a fugitive economic offender.

GSEG has also given an undertaking in its request letter to comply with the requirements of Regulation 31A(4) upon reclassification.

No shareholder vote is required

The Board noted that shareholder approval for the reclassification is not applicable, because the promoter seeking reclassification and persons related to it together hold not more than one percent of the total voting rights of the company.

What this means for a retail investor

• This is a change in how GSEG's holding is classified, from the promoter category to the public category.
• The movement is subject to necessary approvals, so the reclassification is not completed by this decision alone.
• The company has disclosed the conditions the promoter has confirmed it meets, which is the basis on which the Board found GSEG eligible.

In short, the announcement is about the category in which a shareholder is counted rather than any purchase or sale of shares by that shareholder.
