- The nature of risk, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods for the Power Transmission and Power Distribution Business is separate and distinct from the Remaining Business carried out by the Demerged Company. Further, the way the Power Transmission and Power Distribution Business is required to be handled and managed is not similar to that of the Remaining Business.
- Each of the varied businesses carried out by the Demerged Company have significant potential for growth and profitability and can attract different set of investors, strategic partners, lenders, etc. Therefore, as these businesses approach their next phase of growth, it would be strategically apt to segregate the Power Transmission and Power Distribution Business from the Remaining Business.
- The segregation shall enable them to move forward independently, with greater focus and specialization, building on their respective capabilities and their strong brand presence. It will also help to channelize resources required for all the businesses to focus on the growing businesses and attracting right talent and providing enhanced growth opportunities to existing talent in line with a sharper strategic focus on each business segment under separate entities.
- The Scheme will also enable the Demerged Company and the Resulting Company to focus and enhance its respective businesses by streamlining operations and its management structure ensuring better and more efficient management control.
- Bifurcation of these businesses will enable unlocking value of each vertical thereby paving way for focused growth with a view to create significant stakeholder value and at the same time allow investors to allocate their portfolio into separate entities, focused on the distinct entities. Further, it will enable independent and distinct capital allocation approach and balance sheet management based on the distinct needs of each business.
- Thus, the demerger would help in achieving the desired operating structure and shall inter-alia have following
