Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has announced the completion of the demerger of its ice cream business under Kwality Wall's India Limited (KWIL). Following the Scheme of Arrangement, KWIL has allotted 2,34,95,91,262 equity shares of face value Re. 1 each to HUL's shareholders as of December 5, 2025, based on a 1:1 entitlement ratio. Concurrently, the entire pre-Scheme paid-up share capital of KWIL, comprising 5,00,00,000 equity shares held by HUL, has been cancelled and reduced. Consequently, KWIL is no longer a wholly owned subsidiary of HUL, effective December 12, 2025.
KWIL will undertake the necessary steps to obtain listing and trading permission for the allotted shares from BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. Until such permission is granted, the shares will remain frozen. The Board of KWIL, in its meeting on December 12, 2025, also approved the constitution of various board committees, including Audit, Nomination and Remuneration, Risk Management, and Stakeholders' Relationship Committees. Additionally, a new set of Articles of Association has been adopted to comply with SEBI regulations for listed companies, and several individuals have been designated as Senior Managerial Personnel (SMP) and a Nodal Officer for investor-related matters.
