๐ฅ PFC-REC Merger โ Indiaโs 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 Indiaโs largest power financing institution โ with a combined loan book exceeding โน20 lakh crore. Analysts advise staggered accumulation citing regulatory approval timelines of 12โ18 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 โ the swap is mildly dilutive to PFC in the short term but transformational medium-term.
