π₯ PFC-REC Merger β Indiaβs Largest Power Financing Institution Born
In one of the biggest PSU corporate events of 2026, Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and REC Limited boards approved their merger with a share-swap ratio of 88 PFC shares for every 100 REC shares. The combined entity will be Indiaβs largest power financing institution β with a combined loan book exceeding βΉ20 lakh crore. Analysts advise staggered accumulation citing regulatory approval timelines of 12β18 months, but the long-term sector thesis is intact. REC arbitrage trade: If you hold REC, you receive 88 PFC shares. PFC is currently trading at a higher P/B multiple β the swap is mildly dilutive to PFC in the short term but transformational medium-term.
