Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and REC Limited have jointly informed the stock exchanges about the proposed merger of the two state-owned power sector NBFCs. The merger proposal was first announced in the Union Budget on 1 February 2026, and the boards of both companies gave in-principle approval on 6 February 2026. PFC already holds a 52.63% stake in REC since 2019, making REC its subsidiary. The merged entity will continue to be a Government Company and is expected to become the largest power sector financier in India. The merger structure is still under deliberation, and external consultants, valuation experts, and legal advisors will be appointed to execute the deal. The companies have stated that regulatory norms on borrower exposure limits will be managed smoothly, and no material constraints are expected.
For shareholders, this is a significant corporate action — two large government NBFCs combining into a single dominant power sector lender. The actual swap ratio, open offer obligations, and timelines are yet to be announced, so the stock may see volatility as further details emerge. The merged entity is expected to benefit from stronger capital, better funding access, and operational synergies.
