Gujarat Energy Limited has completed the distribution of net proceeds from the sale of consolidated fractional shares arising from its recent composite scheme of amalgamation. The company distributed ₹26,608,068.19 to eligible shareholders of Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited (GSPC) and Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL) on August 7, 2026, marking the final step in settling fractional entitlements under the arrangement.
The settlement follows the sanction of the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on April 8, 2026, received by the company on April 17, 2026. The scheme involved GSPC, Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL), GSPC Energy Limited, Gujarat Gas Limited (now Gujarat Energy Limited), and GSPL Transmission Limited under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Committee of Independent Directors and the Audit Committee certified the compensation process in meetings held on August 10, 2026, and August 11, 2026, respectively, ensuring compliance with Paragraph D of Part I of the SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93 dated June 20, 2023.
Share Allotment and Fractional Consolidation
The scheme became effective on May 1, 2026. On May 16, 2026, the company allotted 62,27,14,719 equity shares of ₹2 each to shareholders of GSPC and GSPL who were on the register as of the record date, May 12, 2026. The allotment followed specific share exchange ratios: 10 shares of Gujarat Energy for every 305 shares of GSPC (₹1 face value) and 10 shares of Gujarat Energy for every 13 shares of GSPL (₹10 face value).
As certain shareholders became entitled to fractional shares, the company did not issue fractional certificates. Instead, it consolidated these fractions into whole numbers, resulting in 98,334 equity shares of ₹2 face value each. These consolidated shares were allotted directly to IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited, appointed as the Independent Trustee, on the allotment date.
Sale and Distribution of Proceeds
The Trustee was mandated to sell the consolidated fractional entitlements in the market within 90 days of the allotment date. The Trustee executed the sale on July 20, 2026. The financial details of the transaction are as follows:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Shares Sold | 98,334 |
| Aggregate Share Price | ₹271.2135 |
| Gross Proceeds | ₹26,669,508.31 |
| Net Proceeds Distributed | ₹26,608,068.19 |
The Trustee transferred the net sale proceeds to the company after deducting applicable expenses and charges. The company then distributed these funds to eligible shareholders in proportion to their fractional entitlements, after deducting applicable TDS where necessary. The Audit Committee, chaired by Balwant Singh, IAS (Retd.), and the Committee of Independent Directors, chaired by Bhadresh Mehta, confirmed that all distributions adhered to Clause 12.5 and 28.4 of the Scheme.
