The full read

Power Finance Corporation's board has formally approved the merger of REC, setting a share exchange ratio of 88 PFC shares for every 100 REC shares. The combined loan book will exceed ₹11 lakh crore, making it India's largest power-sector financier. The swap ratio is the key new detail, as it allows the market to calculate dilution and relative value. The scheme still hinges on shareholder, creditor, and regulatory approvals. Deloitte and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas are advising. For PFC, the merger brings scale but also higher debt (its debt/equity already stands at 8.25x). The open question is whether the integration can deliver the efficiency gains to offset the added complexity.
