What the Board approved

• The Board, at its meeting held on Friday, October 30, 2026, considered and approved the proposal to initiate the process of merger/amalgamation of SJVN Thermal Private Limited (STPL) with the company.
• The merger is proposed under applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and is subject to approval of the Government of India.
• The Board accorded in-principle approval; the details furnished are tentative and subject to requisite approvals and finalisation of the Scheme of Amalgamation.

Who is being merged

• STPL is a wholly owned subsidiary and a Government Company under Section 2(45) of the Companies Act, 2013.
• STPL is engaged in thermal power generation and operates the 1320 MW Buxar Thermal Power Plant in Bihar.
• STPL paid up capital (as on 31.03.2026): ₹3131,72,00,000; turnover (as on 31.03.2026): ₹520.78 crore.
• The company (transferee) paid up capital (as on 31.03.2026): ₹3929,79,51,750; turnover (as on 31.03.2026): ₹3544,52,00,000.

What shareholders get

• Since the merger is between the company and its wholly owned subsidiary, no consideration and no share exchange ratio is applicable.
• As the company already owns 100% of STPL, no change in the shareholding pattern of the listed entity is envisaged.

Related party angle

• The update states the proposed merger does not fall within the purview of related party transactions, citing a Ministry of Corporate Affairs general circular on amalgamations under the Companies Act, 2013.

Why the company says it is doing this

• Holding STPL as a separate legal entity was seen as offering no significant incremental benefit.
• A separate structure was described as bringing duplication of administrative and operational functions, multiplicity of statutory and regulatory compliances, additional expenditure and higher deployment of managerial and organisational resources.
• The stated aims are consolidation of operations, removal of overlapping functions, rationalisation of resources, lower compliance and administrative costs and improved operational efficiency.

What to watch

• The next steps are the Government of India approval and finalisation of the Scheme of Amalgamation, followed by the other approvals mentioned in the update. The update describes the details as tentative until then.
