Gujarat Energy Limited has issued shareholder guidance on cost apportionment post-demerger. Effective May 1, 2026, GEL shares are split with a 70.66% cost allocation to GEL and 29.34% to newly issued GTL shares. This guidance is for capital gains computation under the Income-Tax Act, 2025.
This announcement is crucial for shareholders as it directly impacts how they will calculate capital gains or losses on their investments in both Gujarat Energy Limited and GSPL Transmission Limited, which has implications for their tax liabilities.
The announcement provides procedural guidance to shareholders regarding cost apportionment after a demerger. It does not contain any new financial performance indicators or business updates that would inherently be positive or negative.
Gujarat Energy Limited (GEL), formerly Gujarat Gas Limited, has issued a communication to its shareholders regarding the apportionment of the cost of acquisition for equity shares of GEL and GSPL Transmission Limited (GTL). This follows the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement sanctioned by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on 8th April, 2026, which became effective on 1st May, 2026. The scheme involved the demerger of GEL's Gas Transmission Business Undertaking into GTL. As per the scheme, GTL allotted 31,27,43,617 equity shares of ₹10 each to GEL shareholders as of 2nd July, 2026 (Record Date 3), in a ratio of 1 GTL share for every 3 GEL shares. Shareholders are advised to apportion their original cost of acquisition of GEL shares between GEL and GTL. The proposed apportionment is 70.66% for GEL equity shares and 29.34% for GTL equity shares. This ratio is determined based on the net worth of GEL and the net assets of the Gas Transmission Business Undertaking as of the Appointed Date for demerger, 1st April 2025, in accordance with Section 73 of the Income-Tax Act, 2025. The issuance of GTL shares is not considered a taxable transfer. The date of acquisition for GTL shares will be deemed the same as the acquisition date for GEL shares. The company emphasizes that this guidance is for general information and shareholders should consult their tax advisors for specific implications.
