AI summary

REC responded to NSE and BSE queries on news reports of a potential merger with PFC. The company clarified the merger news is not based on information available with it and no negotiations are underway. However, in the Union Budget 2026-27, the Finance Minister proposed restructuring of PFC and REC as public sector NBFCs to improve efficiency and achieve scale. REC said the material impact of this budget announcement will be deliberated in the next Board meeting. The company confirmed no undisclosed information exists.

Likely market impact

No concrete deal yet as company denies talks, but Board will weigh FM's restructuring proposal, keeping merger speculation alive.
