REC Share Price In Focus as UBS Breaks Down PFC-REC Merger Impact
The PFC-REC merger is shaping up to be a significant move between two powerful entities. The merger will result in REC becoming part of PFC, providing shareholders with 8 PFC shares for every 9 REC shares they own, forming a financial organization with an ₹11.5 trillion loan book, comparable to India’s largest banks.
The combined entity is expected to achieve stronger financial performance due to overlapping customer bases and a balanced distribution of power generation assets, including 29% conventional power plants, 40% electricity distribution and transmission, and 14% renewable energy sources. According to UBS analysts, the merger will trigger a market re-evaluation, accelerate business expansion, and deliver investors a valuable combination of operational scale, efficiency, and sustainable growth opportunities.
