Shipping Corporation of India Land & Assets to Debut on Exchanges amid Demerger Process; Details

This demerged non-core entity of the state-run Shipping Corporation of India will commence trading under the "Trade-to-Trade" (T2T) segment, marking a significant development in the company's restructuring journey. 

Under the T2T segment, investors can only purchase stocks on a delivery basis, necessitating the full payment for the shares. Techniques like intraday trading and Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow (BTST) are not permitted, ensuring a measured approach to trading SCILAL shares.

The genesis of SCILAL dates back to November 2021 when it was incorporated to segregate the non-core assets of the Shipping Corporation of India. This initiative was a pivotal step in the government's strategic disinvestment process, wherein it aimed to divest its 63.75% stake in the parent company.

Following the approval of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in February 2023, the scheme of arrangement for the demerger came into effect on March 14, paving the way for SCILAL's independent journey in the stock market. The demerger, finalized in a 1:1 ratio, implies that shareholders of Shipping Corporation will receive one share of SCILAL for every share they hold.

As per Shipping Corporation's 2023 annual report, the value of non-core assets earmarked for demerger, as of March 2022, amounted to Rs 2,392 crore, highlighting the substantial value proposition of the newly listed entity.

Ahead of its market debut, the Shipping Corporation of India Land & Assets is poised to add a new dimension to the investment landscape. This anticipation is reflected in the market sentiment, with shares of its parent company, Shipping Corporation of India, witnessing a surge.

 

The debut of Shipping Corporation of India Land & Assets on the stock market signifies a significant milestone in the company's evolution. It not only underscores the strategic realignment of its business segments but also presents investors with a fresh avenue for diversification and potential growth.
